Islamophobia is widepread in this thread
Here is the official definition which is exactly how many of the people thinking here on this thread :
Wikipedia
Islamophobia is the fear and/or hatred of Islam, Muslims or Islamic culture. Islamophobia can be characterised by the belief that all or most Muslims are religious fanatics, have violent tendencies towards non-Muslims, and reject as directly opposed to Islam such concepts as equality, tolerance, and democracy.
It is viewed as a new form of racism whereby Muslims, an ethno-religious group, not a race, are nevertheless constructed as a race.
A set of negative assumptions are made of the entire group to the detriment of members of that group.
During the 1990's many sociologists and cultural analysts observed a shift in forms of prejudice from ones based on skin colour to ones based on notions of cultural superiority and otherness.

Islamophobia' rises
BBC NEWS
Muslims in one of the UK's most ethnically diverse cities have suffered an increase in racist abuse and attacks since 11 September, according to research.
An academic survey of racist incidents in Leicester supports fears that the UK is witnessing a rise in Islamophobia - fear or intolerance of Muslims because of their religion.
Earlier in the year, a European Union anti-racism research agency warned there was anecdotal evidence of a rise in Islamophobia.

Stop thinking like an American. It’s Islam or dhimmitude, those are your only choices. The Jihadists don’t give a rat’s ass about money. HELLO MCFLY, THEY BLOW THEMSELVES UP IN THE NAME OF ALLAH!DonQuixote said:
You might want to familiarize yourself with the Last Revelation of Muhammad, and tell me if you still think it is all about the Benjamins.
There are a lot of poor Catholics in the world, and I don't see them rioting at the same clip as the Muslims. The funny thing is you think these poor ignorant religious fanatics are so complex that their explicit statements as to why they are killing and rioting are not to be believed. I believe them at their word.Asterix said:
All of the South American countries along with Mexico contain masses of poor Catholics in the midst of concentrated wealth. And Nigeria isn't in the "midst of incredible wealth".DonQuixote said:

You didn't answer my question. I was speaking not only of current events, but to the reason why people throughout history have revolted or threatened others. You yourself have referred to their failure to achieve politically and economically. Religion has more of the effect of throwing gasoline on a fire.arclighter said:

It is true that non-Muslims are not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, by law. The following points will serve to elucidate the possible reasoning behind such a restriction.
1. All citizens are not permitted in the cantonment area I am a citizen of India. Yet, I am not permitted to enter certain restricted areas like the cantonment. In every country there are certain areas where a common citizen of that country cannot enter. Only a citizen who is enrolled in the military or those who are connected with the defense of the country are allowed in the cantonment area. Similarly Islam is a Universal Religion for the entire world and for all human beings. The cantonment areas of Islam are the two holy cites of Makkah and Madinah. Here only those who believe in Islam and are involved in the defense of Islam i.e. the Muslims are allowed.
It would be illogical for a common citizen to object against the restriction on entering a cantonment area. Similarly it is not appropriate for non-Muslims to object against the restriction on non-Muslims against entering Makkah and Madinah.
2. Visa to enter Makkah and Madinah
a. Whenever a person travels to a foreign country he has to first apply for a visa i.e. the permission to enter that country. Every country has its own rules, regulations and requirements for issuing a visa. Unless their criteria are satisfied they will not issue a visa.
b. One of the countries which is very strict in issuing a visa is the United States of America, especially when issuing visas to citizens of the third world. They have several conditions and requirements to be fulfilled before they issue a visa.
c. When I visited Singapore, it was mentioned on their immigration form - death to drug traffickers. If I want to visit Singapore I have to abide by the rules. I cannot say that death penalty is a barbaric punishment. Only if I agree with their requirements and conditions will I be permitted to enter the country.
d. The Visa – The primary condition required for any human being to enter Makkah or Madina is to say with his lips, La ila ha illallah Muhammad ur Rasulullah meaning that ‘there is no God but Allah and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger.’
