106. Uhm...
One of the owners of Faux news, a Saudi, has been using Islamophobia for years to misdirect 9-11 rage at those countries (Iran and Iraq) that had absolutely nothing to do with it, while Saudi Arabia, a country that produced quite a few of the 9-11 terrorists has been considered blameless.

Interestingly enough the Saudi royal family has for years scapegoated America and Israel (as well as their neighboring Islamic nations) for everything they could while they screwed their own people economically and brutalized them while financing Madrassas abroad. Simply put, my sympathy has limits.

Also, do you think that Islamophobia will be better served by avoiding this truth and allowing these people to continue to go to the poisoned trough of Faux news for their information/

Finally, shouldn't we point out hypocrisy and lies as aggressively as possible? I know being pusillanimous, mealy mouthed, and milquetoast have been really effective tactics, but should we really employ them at all times?
