I just did a bit of research and the 20 worst vehicle ramming attacks in Europe have killed 173 people.
Followers of Islam were responsible for 80% of them.
They are 5-6% of the European population.
Muslims were responsible for 80% of them.
Muslim extremists were responsible for 80% of them.
Muslims in (dare I say 'all'?) Islamic countries denounce extremism and terrorism in the name of Islam. This so from leaders to scholars.
Let's be clear what we're talking about. An extreme, fringe group of terrorists.

Phobias are for spiders.
The term ‘Islamophobia’ is, at best, a category error. Islam is a set of ideas. A memetic complex. One can object, even strenuously, to ideas without being a bigot.
Ever notice that the terms ‘christianophobia’ or ‘judeophobia’ not only don’t exist, but they’re unintelligible

I hate to be the one to put a hole through this defense but 'christophobia' is a definitely a real term and I've heard it used thoughout my adult life. And then there's anti-semitism.

Christophobia doesn’t have a Wikipedia entry and my iPhone spell check flags it as not a word. I am not arguing that it’s never been written or uttered. But is isn’t in our collective consciousness.
Antisemitism is about Jews (a people), not Judaism (as a set of ideas). In fact antisemitism is more typically aimed at secular Jews rather than the religious set.

Yes. Whose prevalence in a certain group is multiple orders of magnitude higher than terrorist prevalence in other groups.
That is my point. And it’s not because they’re bad people. It’s because they inherited a set of horrible beliefs that deserve our criticism.
