Xenophobia certainly serves the purpose well enough, but there has been a rise in Islam-specific phobia and rhetoric. Hence, 'Islamaphobia'.
Homophobia wasn't a word until there was a reason for it to exist. Namely, the backlash against the anti-homosexual cultural landscape.

Criticism of an ideology should never be considered bigotry.
Comparing homosexuality to an ideology is obvious a false equivalence - since homosexuality is not an ideology.
A better term might be Islamo-criticism.
