Evidence

One might assume that in a politically liberal city such as Chicago, anti-Muslim sentiments would be fewer.

In other words, anti-Muslim feelings and Islamophobia are present regardless of the political leanings of the local population. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 89 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
