Is America "Islamophobic"?

From Time Magazine:

Although the American strain of Islamophobia lacks some of the traditional elements of religious persecution — there's no sign that violence against Muslims is on the rise, for instance — there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that hate speech against Muslims and Islam is growing both more widespread and more heated. Meanwhile, a new TIME–Abt SRBI poll found that 46% of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other faiths to encourage violence against nonbelievers. Only 37% know a Muslim American. Overall, 61% oppose the Park51 project, while just 26% are in favor of it. Just 23% say it would be a symbol of religious tolerance, while 44% say it would be an insult to those who died on 9/11.

If you've read my blog for very long, then you know my thinking on that matter. While there truly are certain groups of Muslims who promote violence against nonbelievers, these groups should not be used as the reason to not provide fair and equal treatment for the rest of those who practice Islam. However, it is fine by me to hold negative views of those groups of Muslims who promote violence against nonbelievers, just so long as the same negative views are held against groups of Christians who promote violence against nonbelievers.

You don't generalize Christians by the actions of a few, do you?
