Rationally speaking, What did the islamophobics achieve by all the media stereotypes to taint muslims and their religion?
Did they really achieve anything out of it?
The truth speaks for itself and the statistics say that more people are actually converting to Islam. There are smart people who believe in themselves, not in what others judge.
Politics and Popular Opinion is a powerful tool. Even if we decide, decades down the line, that Islam is a religion of peace (which I believe it is), Islamophobes have done the damage and planted seeds of hatred and intolerance for generations to come. From now on there will always be a fringe group or two that hates muslims, like the Orange Order against Catholics.
