"If Western countries really fear Islam, why do they welcome so many Muslims, granting them asylum and many helpers? Why do they tolerate the construction of so many mosques on their soil while Muslim countries forbid the building of churches on their own? If there is a real hostility towards Islam, why are hundreds of thousands of Muslims trying to clandestinely reach the lands of the infidels and apostates, often risking their lives? the West is innocent of accusations of Islamophobia against it, political Islam has invented this term to accelerate the ghettoisation of Muslims, oppose them to the host countries and radicalize them."
