The above quotations from the Quran are very clear. It is the duty of those of the Islamic faith to either convert or to wage war against all who are not Muslims. In addition, Islam divides the world into two distinctly defined parts. Those territories under Islamic control are known as "Dar al-Islam" or "The Land of Islam" and those territories not under Islamic control are referred to as "Dar al-Harb" or "The Land of War".

It should be noted that nowhere within this article has the author expressed any personal opinions regarding the term "Islamophobia", Islam, the Quran or Muslim people. The definition of a phobia comes directly from Webster's Dictionary. The quotations come directly from the Quran. The list of violent acts committed in the name of Islam can easily be confirmed from news sources. Given these facts it should be painfully clear that Islam openly defines itself, by word and deed to be a real and physical danger to those who are not Muslim.
Conclusion: When a clear and present danger exists, it simply cannot be illogical to recognize it as such and to warn others about it and doing either can in no way ever be a "phobia".
* The above list includes only attacks carried out by Muslims in basically non-Muslim countries. During the same period of time (2015 through mid-July 2016) there were 135 additional attacks carried out by Muslims in predominately Muslim countries. Source: Wikipedia.
