I'm islamaphobic and not scared to say so. The 9/11 attackers did share that religion and executed that act in the name of Islam, no? Those in ISIS causing havoc, destruction, rape, and torture across Syria, Iraq, and the terrorist attacks in Europe do so in the name of Islam, right?
I'm also arachnophobic. Of course I know not all spiders are bad and will cause me harm but if one is crawling on me or in my living room I'm not waiting around to see what type of spider it is. I squish first and examine later knowing I kept myself safe. Those really bad spiders give the good spiders a bad reputation. It's unfortunate but reality.
