I am amazed with the bias and misinformation in this article.

Islamophobia is a live and active in america more than ever. what do you call what happened to the little girl wearing hijab who was beat up at school for no reason except she was muslim. what do you call the attack on a cab driver soon after he was asked if he was a Muslim? was there any other offending characteristic to the attacker other than he was Muslim? Yes Islamophobia is a live in america.

I understand the attempt to rob muslims from having a word that they can use to qualify the antagonism they are experiencing now. Antisemitism has been used by jews to silence any critical thinking about jews although the term is not correct in it use or its definition. yet there is hardly any anti jewish activity in america.
