Perhaps there is a strong equivalence between these things. Or maybe it is a false equivalence.
As I've told many people on this thread, you are free to start an "Islamophobia in the Conservative Party" and list incidents; just as I have done.
If there is a true equivalence I'm sure you'll be able to post incident after incident without even looking for them; just as I did.
I've got to say I thought you paid a bit of a closer attention to politics so I'm surprised that you can't remember any examples. Boris Johnson has had a few and there have been plenty of others.
I'd have thought you'd at least have seen the story on the conservatives not being willing to adopt the working definition of Islamophobia (I'm not convinced that this is Islamophobia but if the labour equivalent was anti-semitism then I guess it would be classed as such). Maybe these 14 members (not high profile politicians) who were suspended suggest it's a bit more widespread

Maybe the fact that you've missed them all is evidence that there is a media conspiracy against Corbyn and the Labour party and the Tory equivalent hasn't been highlighted (surely that's more likely than you've just been looking for anti-semitism stories and ignoring the islamophobic ones).
Although I guess maybe your memory just isn't what it is. You did struggle to remember any anti-semitic incidents in the Labour party before 2015, even though you'd posted them on this very thread.
It's good to see that you've been learning your defence from the Momentum playbook though. Insist there isn't an issue, if there is it's a one-off and not systemic and then attack those making the accusations rather than the substance of the accusations.
I don't think many who followed it at the time (including conservatives
