That is not the only rational explanation. It has been pointed out to you numerous times that there are legitimate concerns with this that have nothing to do with racism or disliking Muslims.
You could replace the word Muslim in this debate with any other religion and I'd have the same argument.
For a so-called "left-leaning" person, I'm surprised you are so interested in facilitating religious fundamentalism.
