This illustrates how fraudulent our politics have become.
Liberals do not support religion, but have long been for women's rights and against abuse. Opposing Sharia law and Muslim values (not that I agree) should be a slam-dunk, EXCEPT Republicans are already on the anti-Islam train (sort of). So rather than risk agreeing with Republicans on anything, they're going to ignore one agenda in favor of another.
It's the simple math that being able to call Republicans racist for the Muslim stance and condemning them for it is worth more political capital than strongly opposing Islam for its treatment of women (which they do and have, but it's largely absent in present messaging).
Really just another commentary on the stupidity/ignorance of the average voter. Politicians just don't think your complicated enough to be capable of being tolerant and respectful of Islam while simultaneously opposing its treatment of women and condemning the radical terrorist elements.
