Old english woman muttered loudly 'bloody muslim, get out' as she walked past me

I don't think many do. I think you are confusing it with the following. They think any criticism of Muslims or any cultural practises from that demographic of people is racist or in some hitting down at an oppresed group of people. Which can result in left wing people somewhat bizarrely defending oppressive conservative religion and labelling anyone who does criticise, even from a left wing position, as a racist or islamophobe. The utmost extreme of this is when people end up essentially supporting what can be considered very right wing groups like ISIS or Hamas.

Shouldn't have to, there isn't anything wrong with being a Muslim, I shouldn't even have to spell that out. I'm not religious but I'd have whispered God is Great, or Allahu Akhtar, just to ruin her day even more.

What qualifies as an Islamiphobic offense is self-evident.

In a city of nearly 9,000,000 people, 76 'hate-crime' offences in a week is not frequent.

Not at all

Islamophobia is a vague, fuzzy concept. It conflates, on one side, Islam and Muslims and, on the other, fear, hate, opposition

Is opposing Islam an "Islamophobic offense" ? then, you would be at pains in counting "Islamophobes"

Most residents in Western countries oppose Islam, especially as a political ideology

Yes, it is; I'm not going to entertain the implied notion that such incidents of hate-crime must increase by a few orders of magnitude, arbitrarily defined by you - a privileged individual who has most likely never experienced discrimination based on religious and racial grounds, let alone been a victim of a hate crime.

So? I don't care, they're Muslims who like to kill Westerners.

I doubt the families of the bombing victims care if they were 'true muslims' or not.

I'm not trying to imply there needs to be more hate crime for it to be considered a problem, my point was that you were exaggerating the problem.

I'd say it shows a small percentage but an alarming number of people that have a favourable views towards ISIS.

The right to oppose, criticise, insult and/or mock Islam is protected under free-speech.

However in the context of street harassment, hate crimes and instances of discrimination, what constitutes as an Islamophobic offense is indeed self-evident.

I'm not trying to imply there needs to be more hate crime for it to be considered a problem, my point was that you were exaggerating the problem.

Talking about 'exaggerating the problem':

It's not an exaggeration at all. Rather, it's indicative of your apathy.

You said you've been a victim of a hate-crime and that you weren't affected by it, but for some reason you decided to edit your post
