Islamophilia is neologism attributed to Daniel Pipes meant to act as a counterpart to the term Islamophobia. Literally meaning "love of Islam" it is used to describe people who are uncritical of Islam and believe it to have positive qualities (though Pipes himself has been accused of Islamophilia).[1]
Cultural relativists make the ideal Islamophiles, admiring the exocitcness of an ancient belief in a loving and peaceful sky god who only sometimes encourages murder, torture and extreme cruelty. Islamophiles generally brush vile treatment of women, homosexuals and girls who still have their genitals in tact under a very large carpet. Amongst the various "narratives" of the world Islam has one of the most consistent narratives where belief, action and reaction is very predictable. It is a narrative of devotion to the pillars of their faith and a very colourful and creative method of enforcing their adorably primitive vicious penalties for breaking its numerous laws.
Some muslims are Islamophiles loving the religion of peace and also loving themselves for being a part of a grand narrative of love, peace and violent punishment. Some muslims are not such Islamophiles most notably homosexual muslims staying deep within the closet in fear of public execution, women who don't quite adore the fabric prisons they wear outdoors and little girls while having their genitals mutilated.
