Is Jagmeet Singh a Caucasiaphobe?

RE: “MPs push for Islamophobia summit” by Christopher Reynolds of The Canadian Press.

A summit on Islamophobia would be welcome if it serious, and wasn’t simply an opportunity for moral posturing and Canada bashing.  Among the first things that need to be resolved is what exactly constitutes “Islamophobia?”

Here are some questions which ought to be addressed for clarification of the issue:

Are Hindus Islamophobic?

Mr. Adeel Ahmed, a in his letter to the Spectator published on June 11, said he fled Pakistan after his father was killed by Sunni radicals and due to the rising Sunni fundamentalism in that country.  Does that make him an Islamophobe?  If so is he morally wrong for being so?

Afghanistan is ninety-nine percent Muslim.  The Taliban continue with their campaign of terror bombings and recently killed school girls in Kabul.  Are the Taliban Islamophobic?

Since the Taliban are Muslims also, is the fear of the people of Kabul of the Taliban Islamophobia?  Is it justified Islamophobia?

Are Burmese Buddhists Islamophobic, having driven the Rohingya, a group of racial Bangladeshis who are Muslims, out of their country, Burma?

Are the communist Chinese Islamphobic, having sent millions of Uyghurs into re-education camps?

Is Jagmeet Singh a Caucasiaphobe having declared his fear of white supremacism and radicalization among the white population of Canada?  If such fear of radicalization among Muslims is Islamophobia, by symmetry, Singh must not be expressing Caucasianphobia?

If Canadian society can be smeared due to the actions of a single mad-man, isn’t it permissible to smear Muslims with the crimes of ISIS and al-Qaeda?
