Something about this Iranian revolution has really brought out the crazies in our society, and I spend a lot of my internet time somewhere between aghast and wildly entertained with the amount of asinine reasoning the left is hitting me with as to why Iran freeing itself is wrong.
I want to tackle one thing I keep seeing over and over again, and it's the claim that what's happening in Iran is Islamophobic and that everyone cheering it on is being Islamophobes to a high degree.
Check out this internet denizen wearing a hijab who is declaring she's part of the "Free Palestine" crowd. She's angry that this is all taking attention away from the plight of the Palestinians, and, more than that, this is all highly Islamophobic. At least that's what I could gather from all her buzzword-dropping indignation.
Enjoy her University-indoctriantion word salad.
"I'm part of the Free Palestine crowd. And I will tell you the Free Iran movement is Islamophobic."

She explains, sure, the Islamic Regime is oppressive. But she likes that they hate Israel.🥰
And how dare we think that she, as a Muslim Hijabi, just hates Jews. IsLaMoPhObIa! pic.twitter.com/4ocAH8XBEM
My initial reaction to the video was something along the lines of "well... yeah." Islam is a dangerous theocratic type of political system that punishes disobedience severely, treats women as second-class citizens, and is opposed to personal freedom. The only reason you would accept that kind of control is that it's forced on you through violence, or in the radical left's case, you've been brainwashed into allowing it to flourish in the name of suicidal empathy.

But then I remembered the point behind the term "phobia" when leftists use it. It's a wholly dishonest term.
Are we afraid of Islam taking over our cities, states, or country? Absolutely, but it's not the result of a phobia. It's just common sense. You don't have to have a phobia of bears to know you need to stay away from them.
The term "phobia" indicates an extreme, irrational fear of something. You often hear the term thrown at anyone attempting to argue against the LGBTQ+ community blitzkrieging our society. I was talking about this ten years ago on my YouTube channel when I showed what an actual phobia looks like during the emergence of the transgender takeover of society.
The term is a linguistic sleight of hand meant to stop an argument or a debate before it happens. For instance, you could have a very solid argument as to why introducing LGBTQ+ reading material to children's libraries is based on scientific data that shows that it's bad for them, and never even drift close to discussing a personal opinion. Regardless, your opponent can label you a "transphobe," which effectively gives them license to dismiss your argument.
They have to do this because they know that if the debate gets a chance to start, they have no way of ultimately winning it. Their arguments are entirely based on emotion and cherry-picked science. If their worldview and societal influence are to stay intact, they have to make your argument seem like it's coming from a place of irrational hatred and fear, not one of facts and reality.
The woman in the video above is doing just that. If you could make it through her lecturing Westerners about not supporting the Iranian freedom movement because it's Islamophobic, colonialist, and encourages women to be whores, you'll notice that none of these arguments are actually based on any real historical evidence. The closest she gets is bringing up how Afghanistan is worse because Americans occupied it for a time, yet she completely fails to bring up that the Taliban took it the moment we left.
You could bring that up, but she led the entire video with the accusation of Islamophobia. She doesn't have to listen to you now. You're just a hateful bigot.
The brutal reality is that Islam is incompatible with Western civilization. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's anti-civilization, as those countries that fall under it seem to get hit with both societal and technological regression, or at the very least, a hard bout of arrested development.
My fear of Islam isn't irrational. It's entirely rational. I have every reason to think it's evil, and I don't want to live under it or around it. A great majority of Western people don't either, but it doesn't make us a bigoted nation; it just makes us smarter than most.
