Just to reiterate: while there are people (mostly Muslims) who use the term Islamophobia when it clearly doesn't apply just to deflect legitimate criticism, there is also a lot of acts of abuse, vandalism, and violence that clearly crosses the line into shocking acts of bigotry.
I find it odd that the rightist atheists and Christians who are usually quick to criticize all Muslims for anything bad done by any individual Muslim or group of Muslims is strangely silent now that someone is making legitimate criticisms of one of the wealthiest Muslim-majority nations.
It's almost as if they don't actually care about human rights and are just interested in getting cheap shots that validate dehumanizing a demographic.
Anyway, good for you, Canada, and fuck you, Saudi Arabia.
