Those articles weren't calling Irving Islamaphobic. They were disproving the false claim that there was a Sharia court in Irving.

It wasn't a "parallel justice system." It wasn't a Sharia Court. For all intents and purposes, it was a conflict mediator/arbitrator. There are similar services provided by Christian, Jewish, and non-religious groups.
And unless you're prepared to get into a PM debate regarding the treatment of women by other faiths, spare me your Islamaphobia regarding women's rights.
