I imagine the way to deal with Islamophobia should be similar to the way we deal with antisemitism or other forms of xenophobia.

Yeah, even Glenn Beck has taken to calling the Democrats "progressives" instead of "liberals." And most should consider Democrats moderates or centrists more so than liberals. "Liberal" has become somewhat of an epithet, but it's often misdirected.
However, 22% of
the electorate does identify as a liberal (44% as moderate, 34% as conservative).
Wikipedia has an interesting entry on this:
Factions in the Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It suggests that the "liberal wing" of the party is somewhat diminished.
