Omar,
Let me assure you that this Islamophobia is something that rankles me also.
But then let us search within our hearts.
What is leading to this type of phobia becoming commonplace?
Now, suppose a Hindu from India or a Hindu from Pakistan suddenly goes into a meat shop and brings down the carcasses of cows and burns it up in a butcher's shop in Pakistan because it affects his religious sentiments, would you applaud it and say that the Hindu is right and his sentiments has to be upheld in a Muslim majority country, where beef is a staple?
Therefore, this attitude of forcing your religious sentiments in a country that is not Muslim is a bit over the top and not quite rational.
It only encourages Islamophobia!
