Kennedy’s remarks

Right-wing demagogues have long used hatred against scapegoat groups as a way to distract and madden the people. Today they are using antimuslimism for this purpose.

I reject the term "islamophobia" because a phobia is an anxiety disorder, and we can't blame people for suffering from one. We can and should blame people for bigotry and hatred. So the word I use for that is "antimuslimism".
