Irrational fear or hatred of Muslims. Usually found immediately after any terrorist event, resulting in persecution and intimidation of law-abiding Muslim Americans, or anyone who could be mistaken for a Muslim or Arab. Contrary to ultra-right-wing rhetoric, Islamophobia is not disagreeing with the religion of Islam or Sharia law. Islamophobia is fear of Muslims.
Examples of Islamophobia:
1. Reporting your Muslim neighbor to the Department of Homeland Security because you thought the lawnmower he was repairing in his garage was a bomb.
2. Shooting a Sikh store clerk because he was wearing a turban, and you thought that only Muslims wear turbans.
3. Attacking a Muslim woman on the street because you thought she was a terrorist.
4. Detaining law-abiding Muslims and sending them to Guantanamo for extremely shady reasons.

Get the Islamophobophobia mug.A term used to preemptively describe the ad-hominem attacks of woketards that try to invalidate any objective criticism of themselves or their chosen product by labeling any reasonable valid opinion that nonconforms to or does not actively promote the establishment idpol narrative ("The Message") (and by extension anyone that agrees with that opinion), as racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.
Usually done within the context of popular IPs being 'modernized' at the expense of established lore and quality storytelling, which creates strong backlash within the existing fan community, which is then propagandized as 'hate'.
If I say that it's incongruous for there to be black dwarves in the Lord of the Rings by virtue of all dwarves living underground, Twitter will label me as an istaphobe.

Get the Istaphobe mug.Fear of Islam or Muslims. In practice, it is used by politically correct leftists and ultra-sensitive Muslims to silence any criticism of Islamic brutality, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia, etc. The inference is that criticism of Islam is a mental disorder and that anyone who criticizes the more extreme aspects of Islam must hate all Muslims. In reality, almost nobody hates all Muslims. We have no problem with the Islam where people just practice their religion.
Any politician who criticizes female oppression in the Islamic world is bound to accused of Islamophobia.
