  1. The suffix “-phobia” has been co-opted by The Left, its meaning no be synonymous with an irrational, groundless fear. They are practicing “neologism” which is the inculcation of new, made-up words and phrases into language by using them in a certain context.

    Homophobia (literally “fear of self” to be exact) is meant to make anyone who disagrees with the homosexual lifestyle and agenda seem like a fearful, illogical idiot. Islamophobia… more of the same.

    Let’s turn it around on them. Whenever someone speaks of gun control or degrading the Second Amendment, call them what they are: Hoplophobic (hoplophobia – fear of guns). That obviously comes from the Greek word “hoplon” which was the fearful lance of the Greek hoplites.

    This post from the Urban Dictionary, says it all: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoplophobia

    And read this, while you’re at it (don’t be fooled by the name of the blog!): http://www.gunlaws.com/Hoplophobia-GunFear.htm

    They want to use words like a cudgel? Give it right back to them!!!

  2. A few other useful terms: Christophobia, ethnomasochist, misandry, misandrist, anti-white, albophobia (fear of white people), and oikophobia (fear of one’s own culture and people).

  3. While you’re grammatically correct that “hoplophobia” is the right word, it will never get THE MESSAGE across like someting more – ahem – pedestrian, something like GunQueer.

  4. “Now here’s a point you might deeply consider: The neologism “Islamophobia” did not simply emerge ex nihilo. It was invented, deliberately, by a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, the International Institute for Islamic Thought, which is based in Northern Virginia. If that name dimly rings a bell, it should: I’ve mentioned it before, and it’s particularly important because it was co-founded by Anwar Ibrahim–the hero of Moderate Islam who is now trotting around the globe comparing his plight to that of Aung San Suu Kyi.

    Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former member of the IIIT who has renounced the group in disgust, was an eyewitness to the creation of the word. “This loathsome term,” he writes,

    is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.

  5. Islamophobia – a term created to silence legitimate observations and criticisms of Islam. This includes reading or quoting any of the 70% of the Koran devoted to violence.
