The common trauma people in Islamic countries, Muslim households or communities shared. There's no such thing as Islamophobia, a phobia by definition is irrational, unreasonable fear. The Islamotrauma people experienced makes it very rational to fear Islam. This new term is coined by a Iranian woman.
"We’ve lived under a brutal theocracy for 43 years and have Islamotrauma."
"My Islamotrauma is that I was molested by my uncle continuously at the ages of 4-5."
"As an Iranian queer woman, I have been the victim of Islamotrauma for 22 years (and it's still going on). I was forbidden of going to classes that had boy participants. My parents are extremely homophobic and every day I had to sit through their hatred for my people."
"My brother received 80 lashes for drinking alcohol at his friend’s wedding 15 years ago. We all have Islamotrauma."

Discrimination, prejudice, or hatred against Muslims.
For example, harassing a woman because she's wearing a hijab; treating people unfairly simply because they have an Islamic name; forcing Muslims to eat pork or drink beer.
The term 'Islamophobia' originated in the 1970s, and was created with the intention of using liberal values to protect Islam from any kind of criticism. When Iranians, Ex-Muslims, people who grew up in Muslim-majority countries try to speak out about their Islamotrauma, they were very often silenced by this term.
Islam is a set of specific ideas based on scripture. People should be able to criticize it. Freedom of expression is a human right. Questioning and criticizing ideologies is crucial for societal progression.
You see, the person who coined the term 'Islamophobia' cared about protecting Islam more than protecting Muslim. That person is wrong. When it comes to people and ideas, people should always come first. Use anti-Muslim bigotry or Muslimophobia or Muslimphobia instead of Islamophobia.

"The issue with the modern day use of Islamophobia is that people conflate criticism of Islam with anti-Muslim bigotry."
"We absolutely need to acknowledge that anti-Muslim bigotry exists."
"Anti-Muslim bigotry is disgusting."
"Criticizing Islam is not anti-Muslim bigotry."
