How come you only hear about "islamophobia"? [Spirituality & Religion]

What about "christianophobia"?
What about "judeophobia"?
What about "hinduphobia"?
What about "buddhaphobia"?

No one ever uses those terms to describe distaste for specific religions, it's always just Islam. Why?

What ever is in trend to bitch about for this year.
I am not trying to be rude or dismissive.
It works that way on both sides of the political spectrum.
And any of those religions could have a phobia attached to it, so you are 100 percent correct and it is a bit strange to single out just one.
People hate religon and it is not just islam they hate.
So, perhaps if we stopped singling out only certian groups of people and looked at the whole problem of intolarance across all religions it might turn out better for all.
Of coures within the groups each may have thier own concerns.

@Emosaur was kidding with you. I do fear that religion alright and plenty of very good reasons why. Muslims are different , kind of like christians : all the gamut.

I think the "phobia" suffix is misused. It can be a distaste, really. Whether that distaste is founded or unfounded is up to the individual.
