The fact is contrary to what Muslims think. Why do
Muslims say that the West has Islamophobia? The reason
is that Muslims give a negative interpretation to an event
involving Islam and the West. However, the West does
not actually mean anything negative. In this case, the
responsibility goes to the Muslims, and not the West. So,
in reality, if there is something, it is Muslim-o-phobia.
The resentment is not towards Islam but against the
un-Islamic practices of Muslims. We must contemplate
and become more introspective about our actions and
their effect on others. If Muslims introspect and rectify
their course of action, they would no longer remain a
problem-community for anyone.
