If you have an enemy, the tendency is for people to hate the religion or philosophy that caused it, even though this might be a blunt instrument.

Incidentally, just to make clear, it is not Islam that is the problem but the perverse interpretation of it by extremists. They are the real enemy.
Maybe the real problem is the politicians and the media who are happy to scapegoat then give platforms to the loudest right wing idiots to dog whistle from?
