Somehow the thread got closed so I am moving the discussion to this thread. Although I will soon be going to bed.
Yes, your explanations make sense. I guess the situation would have been different had the majority of the American-Arabs not been Christian. I mean the Arab communities in Europe are visible not because the men are wearing traditional Arab clothing on every street corner but because it is clearly visible that those people are Muslims and from the ME. Hijab also plays a role. The reason I was asking was simply because in many Europeans eyes Muslims get equated as Arabs. They often treat those words as synonyms.
That really sounds messed up. Don't ever recall anything similar in France or Denmark on a wide scale. I really don't. Very few hate crimes.
Yes, my comparison was maybe also dumb since wars are wars and what we see in Syria is a civil war. That has evolved due to interference from all the main world and regional powers.
Still a long way for us Muslim to catch up with the number of wars and people killed that Europe has witnessed. So I am not yet completely panicking.
