Dreaded Shaker Phobia

Let us say the Shaker faith suddenly enjoyed a revival, but a heretofore unknown brand of Shakers decided that they must use any means including violence to bring folks to their flock. Pretend for the sake of argument that this portion of believers even made human bombs of themselves in populated spaces to enforce conversion by every means. Would it then be a "phobia" to want to avoid Shakers? Thank goodness no religious practice on earth today does anything involving force to increase its number of adherents.
