It's been normalized in pop culture and media since a while now. On top, we have well meaning people do silly things. For example, the former PM of Canada pretty much said 'Samuel Paty was asking for it' without saying it in those words when he was murdered by an islamist. As a result of such incidents, lines get blurred further for many.

Prime Minister had to walk it back when people pointed out that you just empowered islamo-fascists who say "behead those who insult Muhammad" without thinking through the wider implications of your statement.

It's such a fine line to walk in our society. I don't want women attacked for their choice of headgear. I also don't want women attacked for refusing to wear religiously mandated "modest clothes". I know I'm not the only Canadian who knew girls in school who took off their religious attire as soon as they got to the locker. Then put it back on before heading home.

I also know that Iran conceded on mandatory head coverings after Masha Amini protests. I also know we used to have police harass women for showing too much skin in many western countries a few decades ago, which really isn't that far back. Raids on gay hangout spots to bash some heads was a favourite hobby of our cops.

Islamophobes, even on the Left, don't care about nuances or a productive conversation. They just start foaming, like Sam Harris and Bill Maher, as soon as muslims are mentioned. 2 billion Mohammad-lovers are not a monolith. Many of them actually oppose blasphemy laws and bigotry towards LGBT+ themselves.
