The thing is, this is what the pro-Islamist ass-kissing left do as well. They just do it in the favour of the parasitical imams and the (relatively) privileged within the Muslim community (hetereosexual practicing Muslim men). When a Muslim man pours a kettle of boiling water over his gay son in Germany, he gets a slap on the wrist fine "because culture" where an ethnically German father would (quite rightly) get jail for assault, GBH and child abuse.
If you want to treat Muslims the same, you get rid of the Sharia courts and put them under the same law as everyone else, you get rid of all religious schools (not just Muslim schools, Christian ones too), and you stop defending misogyny and homophobia as peoples' culture when an honour killing happens. All those things are as intrisically racist as the far-right who ostracize and demonize Muslims, because they play into racist stereotypes and take "the angry Muslim" as the image of the authentic Muslim, who they have to defend as a minority. This is at the expense of the other Muslims (namely, women, among others) whose rights they violate.
And when these people get bold enough, yes that's scary to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Being scared of the very real possibility of 7/7 or Lee Rigby happening again is not a "phobia", fear is a damn natural and rational response.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
