EUMC evidence shows anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim phenomena coexist, contradicting Halliday
Evidence
Whilst evidence would suggest that ‘anti-Muslim’ phenomena and events would outnumber those that might be deemed ‘anti-Islamic’, one point of contestation with Halliday’s argument against Islamophobia is that from the EUMC report’s perspective, both anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim phenomena were in evidence, with the foci repeatedly switching between Muslims to Islam and vice versa. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 686
