It did matter in Michigan where many Muslims (which make up perhaps 3-4% of the vote) didn't turn out for Hillary--enough to tip the state to Trump.  Perhaps a lower than expected support from male Hispanics may have played a role, but I don't think it affected the outcome in any state.

I'm pretty sure they'd vote for a woman rather than vote or enable somebody who has threatened to ban them from entering the U.S and uses dog-whistle Islamophobia.

You might think so, and I am sure that most of them did.  But just enough didn't show up to make the difference.

Here's article from WP from September 2016 which described the difficulties Hillary was facing in consolidating the Muslim vote going into that November:
