we've all heard about the (supposed) militant Muslims in Pakistan who shot 5 teachers because they were women and 2 workers because they were distributing polio vaccine.

I don't consider myself an Islamophobe at all, but I see that Islam incites many terrible events and needs to be reined in hard, just like the worst aspects of any religion. I doubt that many Muslims would disagree.

It's fine to duck and weave and say "but, but, that's militant Islam." Until Islam stands up and says "enough" to this sort of barbarism, expect the opposition of reasonable people.
