islamophobia (lexical creation)
Islam is a supremacist ideology with a religious component. The term Islam means submission (to God). This submission can be voluntary and willing, or by force and coercion if necessary. Phobia is an irrational fear. Islamophobia is a factitious term designed and promoted to brand any criticism of Islam as irrational. The proponents of the term do this by hiding, obfuscating, and/or denying the force/coercion component of said submission. Thus, if submission only takes place voluntarily, any fear or criticism of it must be irrational or bigoted. (RM)
Note: It is a masterpiece of propaganda, most often used by people who know little about Islam.

The repetition of a process or utterance. Repetition of a mathematical or computational procedure applied to the result of a previous application, typically as a means of obtaining successively closer approximations to the solution of a problem.
