Just as I posted, for me it was good food for thought. I looked it up because I wondered if there was a term for something like this, and this is what I found. I thought it was worth sharing. It is enlightening and frightening to Google xenophobia - examples in history. I am hoping that communication and better familiarity with diverse people will lead to better understanding and relations with the majority of people who are now considered "immigrants", and who are hard-working productive members of society |
Fair enough.
Your thread was started at the time there were two threads on muslims. Thus my thought was you were accusing those of us who oppose the supposed march or had comments on the muslims who seek to kill us.
I have no "intense fear of strangers" in any way shape or form. Thus the definition does not fit me nor do I think it fits any of those who look at what is happening with a bit of suspicion.
As I said on here to another poster who wanted to make folks feel racist or whatever, we are NOT talking about a muslim living next door to you....a muslim playing golf with you or any such thing. We are speaking of a movement that vows to kill me, you and your and my children and grandchildren and do it in a grand an epic way. THAT IS NOT "intense fear of strangers".....THAT is being aware of what is happening and being cautious and alert, and I am not saying you are doing this, but to infer that I or anyone who has these concerns are racists or any other name is insulting to me.
