Allow me to address these accusations of Xenophobia....
pho·bi·a
/fōbēə/
noun
an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.
#1. I am not afraid of other cultures
#2. My "aversion" of some cultures is far from irrational...is it "irrational" to actively despise a culture that sees using suicide bombers as a good thing? Is it "irrational" to dislike a religion whose practitioners believe in killing those who don't believe in that religion?
The ironic thing is that politicians who lament "name calling" are all too willing to say their opponent is a ______-a-phobe. And I'm sorry I believe OUR culture here in the west was all about freedom of speech, expression, and debating ideas rather than attempting to shut down conversation by labeling opponents as racist, sexist, or xenophobic......plenty of cultures have issues and a culture that literally wants me dead, YES I TAKE ISSUE WITH THAT! And fucking Hell no I'm not Xenophobic! I'm pretty fucking far from it!
