Jon, that definition is one of dozens that circulate. None of them have any legal meaning. Even our Parliament has been unable to agree a definition in law.
The reason is simple: They are hung up on the phobia element of the term Islamophobia. A phobia must be irrational - so much can be proven by reference to accepted definitions. Also, racism towards Muslims must be shown to be discriminatory in the sense of violating or promoting violation of human rights. The woke brigade just don't think these matters through.
They need to find another word for it - like Anti-Islamism but then you have define Islamism. So you see the difficulty.
My argument is totally rational and cannot be classified as Islamophobic except by people who haven't thought this through.
Possibly, my critics may accuse me not thinking things through. My exposition and rationale shows that I have indeed given this significant thought. One of the arguments raged against me is that later generations of new cultures don't breed as prolifically as their forebears. Is that true if it is the tradition of the religion to breed? The take-up of Islam in the UK has been analysed by the BBC.

Muslims in Wales and England practise and pass on their faith at much higher rates than any other religion, a Cardiff University study says.
Researchers found 77% of adult Muslims actively practise the faith they were brought up in, compared with 29% of Christians and 65% of other religions.
They also found 98% of Muslim children surveyed said they had the religion their parents were brought up in.
They said the research suggested religion helps minority communities.
The research found 62% of Christian children surveyed had the same religion of their parents, compared with 98% of Muslims and 89% of other religions.
