The cast of Islamaphobia - 2001 includes: Jeremy Bowen as Himself - Presenter
What is the similarities between hydrophobia and Islam-phobia?
Absolutely none. Islamaphobia is a made-up word meaning "fear of all things connected with Islam". Hydrophobia is a term used in describing the symptoms of the disease Rabies, one of which is an aversion to water ("hydrophobia=water fear")
Why is there a great deal of anger in the Muslim religion?
There isn't. The Islamaphobia that is taking hold of America these days is only partially true. Many many extremist groups in the Middle East are taking front and center as typical of the Muslim religion. It isn't. While the extremists do exist, so do extremists in the Jewish religion, Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. religion. I know many many MANY nice Muslims. They are not all bomb-toting maniacs, as most people are led to believe.
What is the meaning of islamaphobia?
Islamphobia means the fear of Islam. Phobia means fear, so you can split words to get a better understanding of their meaning. Islamphobia - Islam phobia - Islam fear - fear of Islam/Muslims Homophobia - Homo phobia - Homo fear - fear of homosexuals Arachnophobia - Arachno phobia - Arachno fear - fear of arachnids (spiders) Botanophobia - Botano phobia - Botano fear - fear of botany (plants) Phobia words are often misused to describe something people to do not like or do not agree with. For instance, rabies is called hydrophobia, but it doesn't make dogs afraid of water. That name comes from the foaming at the mouth during the late stage of rabies. That is because the dogs lose control of the muscles of their mouth, not because the are afraid of their own saliva.

Should countries be fearful of Islam or is the growing trend of Islamaphobia unfounded?
The Muslim countries are also the victim of Terrorist who claim to be Muslims. Terrorists have nothing to do with Islam or any religion. Islam is against the killing of even a single innocent human being irrespective of his caste, creed, color, country or religion.
What are some examples of propaganda devices used in movie Wag the Dog?
hi im rod Stewart paalisbo SEVEN BASIC PROPAGANDA DEVICES Name Calling Through the careful choice of words, the name calling technique links a person or an idea to a negative symbol. Creating negative connotations by name calling is done to try and get the audience to reject a person or idea on the basis of negative associations, without allowing a real examination of that person or idea. The most obvious example is name calling - "they are a neo-Nazi group" tends to sound pretty negative to most people. More subtly, name calling works by selecting words with subtle negative meanings for some listeners. For example, describing demonstrators as "youths" creates a different impression from calling them "children". For the Israel activist, it is important to be aware of the subtly different meanings that well chosen words give. Call 'demonstrations' "riots", many Palestinian political organizations "terror organizations", and so on. Name calling is hard to counter. Don't allow opponents the opportunity to engage in point scoring. ......................................................... Glittering Generality Simply put, the glittering generality is name calling in reverse. Instead of trying to attach negative meanings to ideas or people, glittering generalities use positive phrases, which the audience are attached to, in order to lend a positive image to things. Words such as 'freedom', 'civilization', 'motherhood', 'liberty', 'equality', 'science', and 'democracy' have these positive associations for most people. These words mean different things to different people, but are used to gain the approval of an audience, even when they aren't used in their standard ways. Consider the use of the term 'freedom fighter', which is supposed to gain approval for terrorism by using the word 'freedom'. Or, consider why it is so beneficial to bring home the point that Israel is a democracy. Enemies of Israel will be keen to cast doubt on Israeli claims to be democratic, to guarantee freedom for all, and so on. In place of these 'glittering generalities' favourable to Israel, they will associate Palestinian behaviour, including terrorism, with terms like 'anti-colonialist' and 'freedom'. ......................................................... Transfer Transfer involves taking some of the prestige and authority of one concept and applying it to another. Jewish student groups in the Diaspora can use the flag of their own country side by side with the Israeli flag, where appropriate, to lend support to Israel. In a sports-loving country (such as Australia), students can make people aware of famous Israeli sportsmen and sportswomen, in order to transfer positive feelings (about a football team) to Israel. ......................................................... Testimonial Testimonial means enlisting the support of somebody admired or famous to endorse an ideal or campaign. Testimonial can be used reasonably - it makes sense for a footballer to endorse football boots - or manipulated, such as when a footballer is used to support a political campaign they have only a limited understanding of. Whilst everybody is entitled to an opinion, testimonial can lend weight to an argument that it doesn't deserve: if U2's Bono condemned Israel for something that it didn't do, thousands would believe him, even though he was wrong. Enlisting celebrity support for Israel can help to persuade people that Israel is a great country. Obviously some celebrities are more useful than others. Students are probably a little too sophisticated to be affected by Britney's opinion on Israel, but those associated with intelligence like professors, actors, radio hosts, sports managers and so on can be asked to offer testimonial. A celebrity doesn't have to fully support Israel to be useful. Quotes can work as testimonial, even when they might be old or out of context. [As for those 'celebrities' who are pro-Palestinian...] Most celebrities will care more about their public image than they do about the Middle East. Threats of tainting a celebrity's image will usually persuade them to back away from controversial political issues. ......................................................... Plain Folks The plain folks technique attempts to convince the listener that the speaker is a 'regular guy', who is trust-worthy because they are just like 'you or me'. Often politicians present themselves as being from outside the standard 'political cliques' and above political bickering, and then call for tax cuts to help the 'regular guy'. More often than not these politicians are multi-millionaires financed by large corporations, but the plain folks technique allows them to obscure that fact by presenting their 'common' characteristics. Support for an alleged underdog in a certain situation can often be part of a 'plain folks' agenda. Pro-Israel activists can use the 'plain folks' technique by speaking as a 'person from the street' whilst supporting Israel. The 'average guy in the street' would happily condemn terrorism in all its forms and support 'Western ideals'. In the context of a debate on the Middle East, this can easily be equated with support for Israel. Care must be taken when adopting populist positions. There are some ethical boundaries that ought not to be crossed - for example tapping in to general anti-Arab feeling, or Islamaphobia. Remember that Israel can be supported without resorting to mass generalizations or racism. [WUJS would NEVER advocate ' tapping in to general anti-Arab feeling, or Islamaphobia ' would they? That's why they say ' Call 'demonstrations' "riots", many Palestinian political organizations "terror organizations", and so on.' in the NAME CALLING section above. 'Remember that Israel can be supported without resorting to mass generalizations or racism.' mmmmmmhmmmmmm...... Based on this how can any Zionist student club affiliated to WUJS remain affiliated to a student organisation at any University around the world which is against supporting and promoting racism? The Australian chapter is called AUJS.] ........................................................ Fear When a speaker warns that the consequences of ignoring his message is likely to be war, conflict, personal suffering, and so forth, they are manipulating fear to advance their message. Listeners have deep-seated fears of violence and disorder, which can be tapped into by creating false dichotomies - 'either listen to me, or these terrible things will happen'. Listeners are too preoccupied by the threat of terrible things to think critically about the speaker's message. Fear is easily manipulated in a climate that is already steeped in fear by the threat of global terror. Fear can be successfully utilized by pointing out the consequences of terror. ......................................................... Bandwagon Most people, when in doubt, are happy to do what other people are doing. This is the bandwagon effect. People are happy to be part of the crowd, and subtle manipulators can play on this desire by emphasizing the large size of their support. Although it is reasonable that people are given a chance to find out how many other supporters a speaker or movement has, often it is possible to create the impression of extensive support - through gathering all supporters in one place, or through poorly conducted opinion polls - in an attempt to persuade people who are keen to follow the crowd. Israel activists can commission opinion polls amongst groups who favour Israel, and use these to give the impression that Israel is the 'team to support'. Demonstrations, and even photos that give the impression of large numbers can help to create the impression that Israel is even more popular than it is.
What is the reason so many people are attracted to Islam?
Answer 1it depends actuallyfor instance when you hear a western national 'convert'ing it means that he/she is doing it for kicks (thrill)Africans do it either because they don't have a well formulated religion or perhaps they don't want to get attacked by the guys who are already converted.....or perhaps they can earn their lively hood by taking out common man targets (kafirs)some others got converted in the past for many reasons which include escaping jijya taxes, avoiding attacks from their Muslim rulers etc.genuine converts are usually hard to find...Answer 2I'm sorry I don't agree with this, myself. All that I have ever found in the US, of converts, are genuine.Becoming a Muslim or muslima is not an easy choice for them. Especially in this type of world we live in (i.e. islamaphobia, our American culture, etc.,) Most people that I have met who have converted to Islam feel that they found the true path back to Allah (God) and they have found peace for all the questions that could not be answered in their former religion. Also true is the fact that when many of them have converted they have lost their friends and were cut off from their families, to become a new converted Muslim isn't easy.As a muslima, I found answers to all the religious questions I had. In fact one of the beliefs is this: that the Torah and the Bible are ALLAH's word. Most people do not understand that. They think that Muslims and Islam teach something totally different, like not to believe in the Bible and the Torah. Or not to agree or be kind to Christians or Jews. Not true. Muslims are taught that all these are Allah's books, just that the Qur'an was the last book sent. I think if you have more questions, read about Islam, do not read about it in the Media, read about it true books, like the Qur'an or other recommendations from your local library and or Bookstore. Then decide for yourself. But research it.I do not agree that someone converts to get out of paying taxes of because they fear a Muslim ruler. Islam is not a forced religion AND its not a violent one either.Answer 3The fact that Islam is the fastest growing religion does not mean that it has the most new converts, merely that the number of new converts MINUS the number of apostates is the largest. Christianity has a larger intake than Islam, but significantly more departures than Islam. This is why Islam is the "fastest-growing religion".Part of the great design of Islam was to make joining the religion an act of choice, leading the chooser to have confidence and an interest in continuing his faith. Therefore, the entire Islamic experience has been put forward as just such an element. Islamic States have historically created a set of benefits that only Muslims could partake, making a choice to be Muslim tied to choices about economic viability (which trades you could work - especially in government) or tied to choices of social standing. These would strongly weight the choice and produce a steady stream of converts by their very nature. This also prevents widespread insurrection which did occur in Europe when forcible conversions took place. It's much harder to justify a rebellion against unequal treatment than to justify one against actual pogroms and outward persecution.The reason Islam can afford to be acquire converts in this slower way than forcibly converting large swathes of territory, is that Apostasy (the conversion of out Islam to another faith or to atheism) is an offense punishable by death. Therefore, a choice made by one person binds the hands of all of his descendants. Most religions have to worry about people leaving the faith as well, but Islam cleverly avoids this problem. No Muslim-majority country has established legislation protecting Apostates. Several, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia use the government to enforce the Apostasy Crimes, but many more do not interfere when tribal or regional groups execute a supposed Apostate. Islam can afford to wait until the majority of people make the choice to convert, because once you join, you can't leave, which leads to consistent positive growth.
