Islamophobia is unacceptable and should not be allowed in any community.

“Get the mullahs out” is a common slogan among Iranian protesters. They don’t want to be under the thumb of an Islamic theocracy.

Is that Islamophobia?

Yes. Just because you like the saying doesn’t mean it isn’t.

Then the word doesn’t mean anything.

If something causes harm, I’m allowed to dislike it.

“Phobia” is an irrational fear. For the Iranian people, it’s perfectly rational.
