“ Christophobia” is hatred of Christianity but this is not secularism which is the belief that religion should not play a role in government, education, or other public parts of society. So neither is it Islamophobia to say Islamic government is wrong as theologians do not make the best Politicians. So your thesis is incorrect. As always in matters theological you have to expect a certain amount of over reaction if you are critical.

@sogdianrock The original poster doesn't have a "thesis", he is just pointing out a double standard.

hi pianoplayingsteve
A thesis can be expressed as a question if it is loaded.

@sogdianrock Hello, sogdian, medical scientist here. A thesis is a statement or theory presented as a premise to be put under scrutiny. This is just a look at the double standard post.

If I had known you were a Doctor I would have never ventured to argue. See that is a thesis!

@sogdianrock I've never heard of the word "Christophobia" before, it is not in the dictionary and my spellchecker thinks it's really supposed to be "Christopher". So who coined the term "Christophobia", and when? The term "Islamophobia" is actually quite old now.

hi Dumbbutfunctional
I have already had the argument with the good Dr as to if your question was a thesis and I contend that it is a loaded question with a subtext which constitutes the thesis which you now expound. On that basis I consider myself vindicated. A thesis is in the eye of the beholder as much as in the mind of the presenter.
Anyway regarding your thesis: it is Islamaphobic. Mine is not. I rest my case.
Are you aware as a matter of interest that Islam and Christianity and Judaism share the same God?
