Because it was written as a response to the murders of 6 people praying in a mosque in Quebec.

As Omni pointed out, this isn't true, the motion was presented before the shooting.

But I believe that discrimination against Muslims would be better wording. Discrimination is well defined in Constitutional law - housing, jobs, etc.
I citing or promoting hatred against people because of their religion is another (criminal) issue.

Yes, protection against discrimination, including hate speech, is well defined in the law.  But I suppose MH is right in that the government can make clear it is wrong, in the climate we live in now.  I think their mistake was using the vague word "Islamophobia".  They should have just focused on discrimination and hate speech towards Muslims, which is more specific and illegal.
