Its a reality
We do not live in a utopia, and its a simple fact that if muslims are harassed and targeted in lets say Europe their will be an inevitable reaction across the muslim world.
If mosques are restricted in Europe then Churches will be attacked and restricted in muslim countries
Just because you dont want it, dosent mean it won't happen and their are plenty of christians and minorities in muslim countries
Anti muslim action in places like Europe has less to do with islamaphobia and more to do with a rehash of the old racism of Europeans
Its why the hindutva or sikhs celebrating the rise of the far right will feel the blowback
Replace the muslims with blacl christians or the millions of Syrian christians or middle eastern christians and you will still get the gnashing of teeth from the European's
We need to wake up and accept the reality of the world not live in a dream world at the moment you have a german jewesq viewpoint that will work out as well for you as it did for them
At the moment it isn't. The main reason being that native Christians are the same as Muslims in their respective homelands e.g. Indonesia, Sierra Leone, Pakistan, Jordan etc. As for what happens in some European states, that shouldn't be held as a benchmark i.e. on how to act. Going back to this whole issue about ethnicity, do remember Bulgaria, Romania, the Ukraine etc all have native Muslim minorities who are accepted.
As for my viewpoint, the UK has the lowest anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe, which in a large part is due to the fact that the bulk of Muslims come from South Asian cultures, which also have a colonial legacy. Muslims must also play their part in being productive citizens. When you riot, rape, plot attacks on the host country, you can't blame European governments for their reactions.
