Progressives have been dealing with this regressive leftist propaganda for a while. No belief should be above scrutiny and criticism, and of late political Islam has been using the idea of Islamophobia to shut that criticism down. And even when clearly prefacing that the criticism is of Islam the religion and not Muslims the people, the regressives manage to ignore the distinction and lose their minds. 

To be clear, any belief that harms human rights should be clearly denounced. No matter the religion. And in the West we need to learn to learn to rise above the bigotry of low expectations it holds followers of Islam to.
