It's to give you an impression, how indiscriminately painting all people of a certain group with the same brush, regardless if they're a race a religion, cyclists or people wearing glasses, can ultimately lead to outbursts of violence against innocent people. So try my little experiment. Bigotry doesn't stop at race.
As Blackout rightfully pointed out, there are many political groups in Europe making a living out of (successfully) stereotyping muslims by blaming all the hardships on them and only if we got rid of them, we all would be better off. Again, that's the same tactics the Nazis used against the jews.
And it already shows, there are attacks against muslim community centers, there are already groups organising taking the streets, demanding the deportation of all muslims and muslims are already profiled and more often subject to police harrassment than other people, even if they did nothing wrong besides being muslims.
