Oh, it's one of those morally repugnant and intellectually bankrupt articles on Alternet defending the most violent, repulsive, anti-human rights, anti-science, anti-democracy superstitions in the world.
Two points:
1.
There is no such thing as “Islamophobia.” This is a term of propaganda designed to protect Islam from the forces of secularism by conflating all criticism of it with racism and xenophobia. In fact, people(pseudo-leftist useful idiots) who use it are racists because they believe you can't make Muslims accountable on the same level as you would everyone else.
2.The meaningless and deceitful notion of fundamentalism, to quote an ex-muslim, A.Rivzi:
"I also understand that extremism in any ideology isn’t a distortion of that ideology. It is an informed, steadfast adherence to its fundamentals, hence the term “fundamentalism.” When you think of a left-wing extremist, do you think of a greedy capitalist? Would you imagine a right-wing extremist to be dedicated to government-funded social welfare programs? The “extremists” and strict followers of the Jain faith,
which values the life of every being, including insects, don’t kill more than their average co-religionists. Instead, they avoid eating foods stored overnight so as not to kill even the microorganisms that may have collected in the meantime. In a true religion of peace, the “extremists” would be nonviolent pacifists to an extreme (and perhaps annoying) degree, not the opposite."
Please Alternet, articles like these are a nasty stain on your credibility, rationality, reputation.
