I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that being Islamophobic is actually a good thing overall, given the content of Islam as written in the Quran and Hadith, and the actions of Mohammed.

If it were to be implemented in full in any of our Western societies today, it would result in a misogynistic, brutal, intolerant regime that infringes severely on what we understand as universal human rights. Just look at Afghanistan for an example. We should definitely be "phobic" of this.

Similar to fundamental Christianity then?

Yes. That one sucks too. They both suck. It's not a zero sum game, religious beliefs are not a good basis for societal norm regardless of the name of the religion.
