Islamophobia Cause: Muslim Rulers And Terrorist Attack
I just wanted an opinion, bcuz I have not studied history in detail.
I have lately been of the opinion that 80% of “Islamophobia” is because of the atrocities done by past Muslim rulers and also because of the extremist terrorist activities carried by so called Muslims post World War 2.
But I have heard a lot of Muslims saying that the west runs a baseless propaganda against Muslims, this can be true but I think it only results in 20% of Islamophobia.
Am I right in thinking that the actions of yesteryear’s muslims is causing distress and persecution of the present muslims?

The answer is no and yes.
Things are not always black and white.
Other people is always spread as mean of fueling people rage.
Roman empire and persian empire has always resented Arabs in general even christian arabs were at the bottom of ladder.
However, after downfall of roman empire, the europeans were shocked and start preaching hate against arabs and islam. It is now academically a debate, whether muslims were as bad Europeans project because text of armenian christians are showing a different picture.
It was narrative against Islam inherited from Europeans for 300 uears to justify Crusades.
This hate was amplified Ottoman-European wars, and Orientalist stereotypes. However, post-9/11 fears of terrorism amplified institutional discrimination and xenophobia in the West.
European colonial powers (e.g., Britain, France, Italy) dominated Muslim-majority regions in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, often exploiting resources and suppressing local governance. This created lasting resentment and resistance, as seen in movements like Algeria’s struggle against French rule.
Colonial powers sometimes dehumanized Muslim populations to justify control, leading to systemic violence and cultural erasure. For example, France’s brutal suppression of Algerian independence fighters (1954–1962).
Yes, in recent times, Islamophobia has been caused more due to Muslim activities.
