The USA is the wrong country for those people. They can go to nearly any other first world country to be at less risk of those things.

Threat as in becoming larger than Christianity. After all, Islam is going to surpass Christianity in the coming years. This is also a theory that has been explored when it comes to race relations in America. Whites feel that they are losing the power, and want to do whatever they possibly can to remain in power. Now add White-Christians into this mix.
Islam may become a majority religion globally 'if this goes on ', but not in the USA. If this is the root of their fear, it's an irrational one. Even extrapolating out a hundred years, it doesn't happen in the USA. And extrapolating further than a hundred years is very dicey. When it comes to social trends, sooner or later 'this stops going on'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
