Perhaps you are misinterpreting the focus of such "Anti Islamic sentiment". The war on terror does not focus on Islam, but since 9/11 we have been
fighting radical Muslim extremists that have bent and twisted Islam and formed a very different type of Islam. Some will claim that all Muslims are
bad, but this is simply untrue. Fortunately it is a fairly small percentage of the overall global Muslim population are radicalized enough that they
are of any threat to Western society. The problem is, the percentage that are radicalized, and could be considered "jihadis" are becoming
increasingly skilled at networking, and thus sharing information on how to build IED's, plan attacks, set up cells, recruit, etc. They are also
highly motivated, as has been demonstrated by the attacks in London, Madrid, Glasgow, New York in 1993 and 2001, in India just the other day. This
"small percentage" is a huge threat to global progress, and in some places (eg, London) the radicalization that is happening right now among Muslim
youth will be felt in Britain for the next 15-20 years. Watch Britain my friends, it's a good indication of where we are all headed if we don't keep
up the War on Terror, and continue immigration reform to make it harder for people that hate us to come here and attack us.
