Why is America turning Islamophobic?

People from other religions are tolerant to Muslims as long as peace prevails, but are Islamophobic because of reasons they consider as valid which can threaten their existence. Of course, this is completely unacceptable POV as far as Muslims are concerned (The religious type to be precise). Besides, the Internet is now full of Islam critical works of Ali Sina (a group of people, I guess), Ibn Warraq and many others. Muslims are now seen as threats because of all the bombing and other terrorist activities a minuscule of the Muslim population does.

It is not just the terrorism, which is actually rare in non muslim countries.

The main reasons I see are:-

1. Conversion and increasing numbers purposefully to out breed the local community/culture.
2. Lack of mingling with others on an equal footing.
3. Lack of tolerance to criticism of faith, culture. Violent response more common than other communities.
4. Hypocrisy - sticking to some rules and avoiding some others ( most religious folks are guilty of this).

What are you talking about? Muslims number more than 1.2 billion and are extremely heterogenous in their practice. From the uneducated villager in Bangladesh to the uber educated Western citizen, muslims are extremely diverse. Similarly, there is no centralized authority that can speak for the collective muslims of the world. All this muslim hate or criticism or whatever you wanna call it is borne out of the religious inspired violence that is present constantly in the news. However, in terms of numbers, these events are miniscule compared to the total population of muslims in the world.

Secondly, other religious groups are guilty of the aformentioned List, before muslims are. For example, #1, there are no forced conversions. #2, plenty of muslim folk dont mingle, and plenty do. #3, replace the word muslim with jewish, christian, or hindu in every comment section you see in yahoo or whatever else online forum comments section and get back to me, #4, every individual on earth is a hypocrite when it comes to religious matters. (i.e. spiritual struggle with the id. vs. superego)

So you meddle and contribute to destruction of countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria etc. then bark Islamaphobia is a "myth"? Don't forget the foundation of USA was built on slavery and extreme racist ideologies not too long ago.
 
.
You fly planes in their towers then ask why there are turning Islamophobic? It just reaction to action.

Which of my words don't you understand. Those individuals that carried out that act don't speak for Muslims or Islam for that matter. You can justify any act with words from scripture. No matter the religion. So please....

There are a large number of religions in the World.
Islam is in conflict with most of them and there are a lot of violent actions.
The violent conflicts between most other religions are rare nowadays.
The conflict between Catholicism and Protestantism in Ireland beeing the last I can remember.

As pointed out, there is no central authority in Islam, so Muslims act in different ways.
A significant portion of Muslims interpret the Quran in ways that encourage violent attacks
on non Muslims sometimes for no other reason than they are infidels.
This was the motivation behind the Stockholm attack.

The process of radicalizing from being a Muslim only in name, to a Jihadist can take only a few weeks.

The Jihadists here are often second or third generation immigrants that starts of with
a life in petty crime, and meet someone that promises them to be the "top dog"
instead of the "underdog".
Accepting Muslim immigrants can definitely be seen as inviting trouble.
If only one in a hundred Muslims commits a terrorist act it is still unacceptable.

Before the recent London attacks, local Muslims informed the police about their suspicions,
so the perpetrators were already known, but was never actioned on.

I do not think anyone has proven that there is any significant benefit in accepting
a Muslim immigrant over a non Muslim immigrant.
That is needed to offset the obvious drawbacks.

Even if a radical Muslim is not violent, some exhibit unacceptable behaviour towards Women.
Muslims attack people verbally for engaging in singing and dancing.
Racist attacks on local jews.
Attacks on Muslims with a different interpretation of Islam.

There are plenty of reasons why people may think that Muslims are simply not worth the trouble.

A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, defined by a persistent fear of an object or situation.[1] The phobia typically results in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months. The affected person will go to great lengths to avoid the situation or object, typically to a degree greater than the actual danger posed. If the feared object or situation cannot be avoided, the affected person will have significant distress. With blood or injury phobia, fainting may occur.[1] Agoraphobia is often associated with panic attacks.[6] Usually a person has phobias to a number of objects or situations.[1]
-------
Some people believe that exposure to the thing the phobia is about will help.

That may not always be the case.
Walking around with a bottle of nitroglycerin would make most people uncomfortable,
and would cause persistent fear, a wish to get rid of the bottle and distress,
possible panic attacks.

More exposure to nitroglycerin is not really helpful.

Well, he must fear his son's safety. Not because he will be targeted. There is chances that he can be bullied in school, mainly when the history of Timur is not so pleasant.

:o:You are contradicting yourself girl. Actually new born is not targeted, it's his parents (like you said).
Assume someone in europe name their kid Hitler or Mussolini. That wouldn't be a pleasant name.

Funny enough, I had a collage batch mate whose name was 'Lenin Vijayan' and ironically he was hardcore Sanghi. And he was frowned upon for his name.

Another example, is a guy who couldn't get a job in an MNC because his name was Saddam Hussein.
Parents shouldn't be that stupid when they name their kids. If I ever had a kid, I would never name him Timur, Ghengiz Khan or say Tippu.

If You want to be in denial, that is Your problem.

Don't confuse this with my personal view.
I have Muslim friends, and religion/immigration is not affecting my vote.

"A significant portion of Muslims interpret the Quran in ways that encourage violent attacks

Its bedtime, otherwise I would take the time to refute other portions of your post. However, I will address the above line. That sentence is beyond ridiculous. From where do you base that assertion? Seriously, how in your right mind can you make that assertion? Prove what you have said.

Yeah, that's utter degenerate way of talking. Anyway, majority of the opinion is targeted against the couples.
There are stupid people everywhere.

You have to agree that the muslim community is more violent than most others on an individual level.
On a state level, I think they are tied up with the west in that regard.
Anyways, I do feel that with time everyone will progress enough to live in harmony. ..let's wait and watch.
