If I weren't a Muslim, I'd probably be Islamophobic too. If all I saw were extremist violence, women being beaten into compliance, people killed for blasphemy, apostates punished, child marriage defended, and religious laws forced on everyone... Why wouldn't I be afraid? At that point, Islam wouldn't look like a religion. It would look like a system of control. Maybe the biggest threat to Islam's reputation isn't its critics. Maybe it's Muslims who keep proving them right.
