So Muslims are being attacked these days by anti-Muslim racist xenophobic, bigoted, anti-immigrant in the USA, Canada, Britain & Australia and elsewhere.
These attacks in the case of Muslims is fueled by the erroneous notion that all Muslims are potential terrorists and are out to make the countries they have immigrated to into Islamic nations governed by Islamic theocrats according to a strict medieval form of Sharia as practiced by the Saudis and the Taliban.
But some Christians , Muslims & Hindus are attacking Buddhist not just in Korea, Malaysia , Thailand, Sri Lanka but they are also being targeted by xenophobic racist and anti-immigrant groups in Canada, the United States, Britain and Australia and so on.

Sri Lankan Buddhist Temple in London (kingsberry) (UK) attacked by Suspected Tamil Tigers LTTE
Anyway it seems that Part of the problem is that many cynical politicians and Media outlets have for years been fueling the hate of immigrants of non-whites, non-Christians anyone who doesn't fit their narrow minded image of what a "Real American or real Canadian or Real Brit is supposed to look like and how they are supposed to dress or speak or what religion they follow. etc.
The racist anti-immigrant crowd are upset that these new immigrants are not white, not European and not Christian etc. It isn't as they argue that they just want these new immigrants to fit in but they want them to be completely assimilated meaning these immigrants should dress, talk, eat and pray just like the people in their new country do. IE act like real Americans or real Canadians or real Brits.
