Islamophobia is hardest to debate when feminists adopt it.
Evidence
Dare to question and to address the differences on key issues with Muslims if and when they exist. “These questions,” Ramadan maintains, “signal that you are supportive of Muslims who are victims of discrimination but also that your support is not a blind support for everything.” Both Ramadan and Francois-Cerrah take to heart one of the more common criticisms of the concept of Islamophobia discussed in chapter 1, that calling attention to Islamophobia has the potential to stifle legitimate criticisms of Muslims and Islam. Their response is that non-Muslims can fight Islamophobia without abandoning a critical engagement with Muslims. — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 696 (
