5+ Minute Challenge to tickle young brains

I have challenged college students to engage in dialogue as a response to the Islamophobia and Quran-burning incidents promoted by wrong-wing evangelical warmongers and Zionists. Here you will see a few sessions with seven students in front of small groups of audiences.

There are some expressions here I have a problem understanding.
What is your definition of "Islamophobia"? AFAIK "Islam" is a world-view and a "phobia" is an unwarranted fear, so this does not compute.
What exactly are "wrong-wing evangelical warmongers"?
Did "Zionists" burn Korans? A "Zionist" is someone, if I remember correctly, who supports the territory defined as the Land of Israel. Why would they burn books? -

What is your definition of definition? What does Stop mean? What does mean mean? What is the weight of an average redherring?

Think of this. Anti-semitism means hatred of Jews. It's common usage does lend itself to that definition despite the fact that many Jews nowadays are of non-Semitic origin.
Islamophobia (your literal definition) actually exists, but the term can cover a wide range of negative attitudes towards Islam and Muslims.Zionism and Right-wing Evangelism share a close nexus. Protestant churches send millions of dollars to Israel every year. I bet not many self proclaimed zionists "like" muslims, just a guess. Not many.
Zionism does carry connotations deeper than simply support for the territory of Israel.Thanks for the share Edip
