As far as I am aware Muslims have the same protections under the equality act as any other religion which is as it should be.

Islamophobia is a descriptive word in the same way as Homophobia or racism. It describes discrimination against a specific group.

If hate crimes and discrimination were not occuring there would be no need for a word that describes that situation

I have noted that those people who are worried about the influence of the Muslim faith in Western Democracies are often referred to as Racist and ignorant people who should be sneered at or ignored.
Recently we had the thread about Katherine Birblsingh’s court case about the right of Muslims to pray at schoool. Denmark and Sweden are now worried about Muslim influence. Today I read an article in the Spectator, which is generally on the right as the New Statesman is on the left.
This article is about France politics but I found it interesting.

If this does not work and is behind a paywall I will try again. Responses will be interesting.
