Most opposition is unrelated to phobia, or intents to instill hate and violence. On the contrary, actually.

Your attitude will prevent you from learning, and lock you in a perception which you seem to despise. This is sad for everyone, but mostly for you.

So you say the public burning of the most holy object of one of the biggest religions in the world is supposed to bring peace?

No. With 'On the contrary' I meant the other side, which inhibits the attributes you were talking about. They are afraid someone might not share their belief and values. They actually hate that, and frequently resort to violence up to burning buildings and killing people. To be safe, some of them. Most are chill.

This attitude is what justifies the protests from my point of view. I don't want to cave in to such encroaching demands.

Your attitude will prevent you from learning

How will my attitude to behave respectfully towards different cultures and believes do that?

Not that part. What I meant is the unwillingness to discuss and the willingness to block. I mean, it's literally ignorance. I also feel "my attitude to behave respectfully towards different beliefs" has some ironic vibe, given you voice it right after you announced your readiness to shut down discussions with different beliefs.

To be fair, I'm not sure if you were only specifically talking about one particular group of people, actual islamophobes. I got the impression you generalize it to the point that anyone who's fine with Quran burnings would be an islamophobe. If I misread this generalization, my apologies.
