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?

As I said before, wake up.

I kind of get what you are saying in that you need to define Islam to be anti-islamic or islamophobic. Not liking Islam without fully understanding what it is, is simple prejudice. However, by understanding more about Islam and then saying things like Islam is not compatible with British culture is surely defining Islam and would therefore I guess fall in to your definition of anti-Islamism
