“Repulsion is not fear.”

I think “revulsion” is the word you want, but I agree with the sentiment entirely.

A devout muslim wants to kill you for not being muslim. A “moderate” muslim wants the devout muslim to kill you for not being muslim.

And a tolerant, inclusive muslim doesn’t want to see you killed, but they won’t say anything against the devout or moderate muslims for fear of their own lives.

I thought about the word “revulsion” which is true but I think I’m more repelled by them and homos (making “homophobia” false as well). Just don’t want to be near either.

Merriam-Webster’s definitions of “repulsion”, especially #3:
1: the action of repulsing : the state of being repulsed
2: the action of repelling : the force with which bodies, particles, or like forces repel one another
3: a feeling of aversion : REPUGNANCE

It fits.
