Agreed all muslims are not terrorists (similarly Irish and animal lovers), but that is not to say *most* terrorists (today) are not muslims. (Note the double negative !).
That is where the fear comes from. I don't know many people who can distuinguish terrorists from non terrorists just from appearances but knowing someone is a muslim must increase the suspicion ... IMO.
Also with regards to beliefs .. whether those beliefs are acceptable in this country depends on what those beliefs are and if they involve degradation of women or infidels.
