A phobia is an irrational fear. If the thing feared is the downfall, it wasn't irrational was it? I guess you are making a direct threat. I understand that's what Islam does. "Accept these rules or die". <your phobia against a specific religion will be your downfall one day > Be careful Kumar, your threats will lead you to prison or worse. Imagine a visit from Homeland Security and a trip to Guantanamo Bay. Maybe you mean the more contorted, "Phobias are irrational, therefore one will fail to take opportunities because of those irrational fears". I will take my chances on failing to gain something, and avoid Islamic Jihad places. I guess you know that the Van Gogh who was left with a dagger in his chest and a message wasn't suffering phobia. It's real fear when fearing things that really do kill you. Perhaps you could elaborate on exactly how my "phobia" which means something different from fear if you check a dictionary, will be my downfall. I'd be very interested to know. Go on, be clear and open about what you mean. Mqurice
