Maybe so, but these terms are now routinely used as verbal kill shots to shut up any opponent.
"Islamophobia", for example - a term invented by Islamists [Muslim Brotherhood] - is used to shout down any critic of Islam (an idea) whether Muslim or not and no matter how valid the criticism. We don't talk of "Cathophobia" when we criticise that Catholicism.
A better term would be "anti-Muslim bigotry". That defines a pernicious bigotry about people that certainly exists, which I assume is what Ms Eltahawy is referring to, and which must surely be called out.
DearSister, could you not change to using that term [anti-Muslim bigotry]? Instead of the tired and inaccurate "Islamophobia"? Ditch a term of the Islamist patriarchy that we share in deploring.
