Atheists & Agnostics

Ironically, the use of the noun “Islamophobia” jibes perfectly with the Islamic tradition of dividing the world into Dar al-Harb (the abode of war, where Muslims are to battle infidels) and Dar al-Islam (the abode of Islam, where all is well).

“Islamophobia” conflates (impermanent) faith with (permanent) race, making criticism of one prejudice against both. Those who hold that a believer’s faith is as immutable as his or her race fail to see that the believers of today can become, with a bit of well-crafted free speech, the atheists of tomorrow. This is why free speech is and will always be the enemy of Islam – and all “revealed” religion.
