What about the isolated cases of people killing Muslims and those who were mistaken for Muslims (such as Sikhs) just after the 9/11 attacks? Do those incidents not count as Islamophobia?
The OP quotes the article. The article, as I mentioned, is quite interesting - but that concerns the CURRENT WAVE of use of "Islamophobe" as an attack term for purposes of intimidation.
Several people have cited cases of killings which certainly do seem to be "Islamophobia."
