If you don't see this you're not looking at all. I don't believe that you truly don't see this happening. Leftist apologists are a pretty significant topic of discussion. The Ben Affleck/Sam Harris thing on Bill Maher was the most popular example where legitimate criticism is countered with cries of racism and "Islamophobia". Resa Azlan is another king of this. A
lot of people get sensitive when Islam is criticized in the same way other major religions are openly criticized because some people can't separate the fact that most Muslims aren't white. As a result, they feel any criticism is racist.
It's the same card that some people play when anyone criticises something Israel does as being anti-semitic.
