That would be "Wahabbisophobia". :D
I have never heard anyone who spoke against Muslims identify an sect that they disliked. They just dislike Muslims. Period.

Well, I agree to an extend. The real Islamophobes don't bother distinguishing between sects, they think the religion is fundamentally flawed anyway. But there are many in the West who are indeed referring to ******sm as the supposed evil from Saudi Arabia, which is corrupting the minds of moderate Muslims. It is always accused of funding all kinds of radical new mosques in world wide for example. They do have a point sometimes IMHO, Saudi clerics are generally much more aggressive and hateful of kafirs and the kafir way than those in the West or East.
 
Kading, just because you saw something on the news, it doesn't mean its always true. So please - let's not start delving into that and making this thread into a war-zone too.


Regards.

So anyone that openly disagrees with (and thus attacks) some basic Islamic principles, doctrines and assumptions is an Islamophobe? That would also make me an Islamophobe :-[. Oh well. I'd rather dislike an ideology/doctrine than dislike people. Disliking doctrines is perfectly healthy, disliking people because they follow certain doctrines is much more bigoted and socially disruptive. In short, I'm happy I'm an Islamophobe than, and not a Muslimophobe!

I'm a phobeophobe. I'm scared of bigots and women called Phoebe. Don't ask why.

I wasn't basing myself on "something on the news" though. My impressions where mostly from comparing rulings on Islam-qa.com with those on Islamonline.net. Islam-qa.com tends to attack kafirs all the time and warning Muslims of 'imitating the kafir' and 'befrieding the kafir'. You don't really see stuff like that on Islamonline.net.

lol. despite one certain generalising and sweeping statements. What the site has to do with anything.

It is true that Islamonline.net is quite different and the target audience is mainly english speaking people.

However you will generally find the same similar prohibition in Islamonline.net about not imitating the kuffar as you will find in islam-qa.

Also you will note that islamonline.net heavily borrows from islam-qa, so it is erronous to think that just because one site mentions it and the other does not, does not mean the former is incorrect and the latter is correct by silence. Also placing due note to the plausible reasons they might not mention it considering their taget audience and their locality.

Anyway as much I will like to engage in rethoric with one, the topics is not about the websites and islamonline.net and islam-qa. So no point in bringing in red-herring.
