On second reading apparently Islamaphobia means the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general but phobia only means the irrational, unrealistic, persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. In this context, Hinduphobia is absolutely 100% accurate and spot on.
Not that this kind of nitpicking matters outside pretentious circles anyway, the average person knows exactly what we mean.
I don’t think anyone is debating what to call Hinduphobia, I think the point is that it doesn’t exist to any meaningful degree in Western countries, and I’m specifically talking about the religion rather then a phobia of people who are Indian, darker skin etc which certainly exists but is based on ethnicity rather than religion.
