HiSToRiCaL iSSueS ReLaTiNG To My WoRk -
In the past there have been many wars with other faiths fighting muslims and this sitill goes on today.
religions such as hindus and sikh have not been at peace with muslims since the islamic country pakistan was formed.
also christianity and islam have been fighting wars, all throughout history, they have been some pretty big wars and some famous civil wars between the two faiths.
here is some text giving some info on a civil war between the 2 faiths and shows some of the troubles it faced:
*** After the civil war, the Christians and Muslims seemed to come to an understanding that their interests had to be balanced and that the country was too weak to remain independent without Western backing, but also that they could not afford to be isolated in the Arab world. As much as many Muslims wanted Lebanon to be part of the greater Arab world, they also knew that they would lose their individual power if that were to happen.
At the same time, an intense political rivalry always remained just below the surface of relations between the factions, and these only grew as it became clear the demographics of the country were changing. According to the agreement they had reached, the proportion of Christian to Muslim representatives in the government was supposed to be 6 to 5. By the 1970s, Muslims believed the population had tilted in their favor, but the Christians refused to allow a new census that might confirm the suspicion that they were now the minority. This was a source of persistent frustration in the Muslim community.
WE CAN REALATE BACK ALL THESE HISTORICAL WARS AND HATRED TOWARD THE RELIGION AS ONE OF THE REASON WHY ISLAMAPHOBIA OCCUR!
the west and muslim have never actually been good friends, there has always been tension between the 2 , maybe coz of religion , the 2 religion are quiet similar and problems probably originate from who is right and who is wrong!
plus media has cahnged over time , nowaday the reports are live as it happens and people are educated in being good journalist, so the NEWS itslef is so much better den wen reportin terrorist was back then.

I'm not sure how relevant the quote is.
You need to consider here the history of the relations between the muslim world and the west, particularly over the past fifty years or so and the advent of the mass media.
