And so far there is no attempt to put any legal teeth behind it. But a motion to recognize its existence isn't a bad idea. Lets not to be afraid to identify xenophobia.

I think "Islamophobia" is a bit of a murky word.  Sometimes people use it to refer to blanket condemnation against Islam, while others use it to  refer to blanket condemnation against all Muslims.  That's a huge difference.  One is a set of ideas (a religion), and one is a group of people.  There should be nothing wrong with condemning a religion or ideology if you don't like it, but we shouldn't be using fear and hate to all people who follow it (even if it's ok to criticize those people).
