How many Muslims do this? It's not their fault if you decide to characterise the entire religion based on the action of a minority. You could say the same for fundamentalist Christians of which the United States has many examples if you wished to 'resent' Christians. How about the Jewish faith? Quite successful in America and anti-Semites use examples of their success to say America is 'run by jews'.
The Mail does feed this resentment to Muslims by publishing, time and time again, examples of pandering to Muslims. The fact these mostly tend to be mis-characterisation of the events or outright lies means nothing to those who already wish to find a reason to dislike Muslims.
