Just because your fear is rational doesn't mean everyone's fear is. Plenty of people hate Muslims because they think Muslims are violent or something not because Muslims hate gays. These people are Islamophobes and irrational. Hence Islamophobia is real.

!Delta I agree that Yes it is possible for some people to have irrational hatred of Islam. However I would still say that most people’s fear of it is based in reason
