There has been a bit of "No you can't criticise Islam for murdering others (Glasgow shopkeeper) or being anti lgbt rights, or being less secular according to polls that's Islamophobia!" in the left. Hope not hates list putting Ayaan Hirsi ali with people calling for violence in one bucket was a fine low.
Of course right wing groups don't call out Christianity doing the same thing. And of course they ignore it's not just Islam but also local country culture.
But if someone is concerned about those things and genuinely isn't being a racist, just asks a question they may quickly get a label.
But brexit xenophobia was perhaps more a vague blaming and "themmuns" over genuine facts / concerns and word meaning shifting. Unless I have missed genuine solutions rather than "oh we stop immigration now, all is well, cuppa t".
