Just as one can be critical of all sorts of aspects of Roman Catholicism yet still recognize the hateful part played by anticatholicism in UK and US history, so one can note repressive and reactionary currents within Islam, yet still understand the poisonous politics of the Islamophobia peddled by the right today.

With Islamophobia on the Rise, Houston Becomes Home to First Ismaili Center in the Country

Despite growing anti-Muslim sentiments and discrimination, American Muslims continue to engage civically and thrive as a community.

Today's Islamophobia in the USA bears a strong resemblance to the anti-Catholicism of the past.

The United States is being de-ordered and re-ordered in ways that are profoundly at odds with the foundations of the social teachings of the #Catholic Church. #CatholicSocialTeaching #AntiCatholicism #TrumpAdministration https://buff.ly/3EFBZLS

No longer parallel empires: the Vatican and the United States under Trump

From Cold War espionage to today’s intelligence dramas, shifting loyalties mirror America’s transformation. As Trump’s populism reorders power, the Vatican faces a new ideological battle with the United States, reshaping Catholicism’s global role.

I'm struck by the similarities of Islamophobia in the UK and the US to past generations' fear and hatred of Irish Roman Catholics.

GB News pollutes public discourse in the UK and therefore deserves closer scrutiny and more effective regulation.

Reading a County Highway article by Michael Lind - “Nothing Good Comes From New England.” I had always thought it was secularism that accounted for antipathy towards separate school systems but he attributes it to anti-Catholicism. Here (in Saskatchewan) separate school funding was relatively recently protected through the province overriding the constitution. #anticatholicism #schools

Jack Thomas Chick (1924–2016) was an American cartoonist and the owner, manager, and editor of Chick Publications. Chick's publishing house is responsible for hundreds of abominable illustrated evangelical gospel tracts known as Chick tracts, tiny comic books printed on cheap paper that are ubiquitous in subway stations, rest stop bathrooms, inside the dresser drawers of hotel rooms, and littered around other public places nationwide.

As a general rule, Chick tracts read like the ramblings of an anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, #homophobic, etc. fire-and-brimstone #conspiracy theorist that makes Pat Robertson look sane and mellowed out in comparison. The tracts create an "us vs. them" mentality where those who accept the message are part of the righteous few and the rest are sinners in league with the Devil.
