A user on X posted a fiery take: “You will kill an innocent human and you will say ‘Allah Akbar’ and you expect me to like your religion. I’m not sorry — I’m Islamophobic!”
Anger is understandable in a time when violence keeps making headlines, but lumping an entire faith with over a billion peaceful followers into the actions of extremists is how hate becomes normalized. Terrorists don’t represent Islam any more than criminals represent Christianity — yet comments like this fuel division, hostility, and dangerous stereotypes.
You can condemn terrorism loudly — everyone should — but turning that into open Islamophobia doesn’t fix anything. It only creates more suspicion, more resentment, and more fire in a country already struggling to hold itself together.
Hate won’t heal what violence has broken.
