Anti-Islamism is not winning against Islamism

It is a fallacy to think that because more people have anti-islamism sentiments, Islamism is losing. Take the case of India - there 75% people (almost all Hindus and Christians) have anti-islamism sentiments but Islam keeps flourishing. Unless these sentiments are converted into action, anti-islamism will not prevail. It can only prevail if non-muslims treat Muslims in European countries the same way as Muslims treat Christians and Hindus in Muslim majority countries.
