On the one hand
I am a fervent believer that all national governments should be completely democratic, never autocratic. I also fervently believe that women should never be treated as subservient to men.
.On the other hand
Never in the history of Islam has there ever been a democratic Muslim state, or one that treated women as equals. (Please don’t quote Turkey, which although almost entirely Muslim, is a secular state.)
Conclusion
I have more sense than to draw any conclusion about Islamophobia.
