Address Islamophobia: Term and Islamophobia

address islamophobia: In a form letter reply to a request to my MP, Peter Kent, to consider supporting M103, he suggests that the word Islamophobia' is a confected term that has a wide range of meanings and interpretations, according to Toronto Star. He continues to say that a phobia is a medical term that relates to an anxiety disorder. Some Conservatives, it would seem, reject the use of the term Islamophobia itself. It is inappropriate to apply in Parliamentary debate. It's time to address Islamophobia and not fan its flames. Kent and those who share his views need to understand the term is apt, clear and the problem is there. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
