The term "Christianophobia" refers to hysterical and irrational fear or hatred of Christians which is present in many Muslim countries and among liberals and leftists. "Christanophobia" is considered an analogy of "Anti-Semitism" or another neologism "Islamophobia". Anti-Christian sentiment is generally used for describing discrimination against Christians, but this term has been used in various sources including United Nations and by several academics. United Nations described it as "deep concern the increase in anti-Semitism, Christianophobia and Islamophobia in various parts of the world".[1]
- Some of the political neologisms which end with "-phobia" may not be directly associated with medical science, but have academic significance.
