But as with the BLM protests, it's the violent ones on the fringes who do so much harm to the cause of the peaceful protestors. And of course not all the violent ones are muslims, but the evidence available clearly shows a significant segment of them are.
Also, there has been a difference in general resistance to assimilation into host societies by Muslim immigrants compared to most other immigrants. It can't be blamed solely on discrimination. And while the majority of muslims want to live peaceful lives, the clear fact is their religious ideology is not a liberal one. On economic issues it may be more left than American Christian nationalism, but on social issues it's at least as conservative, and on human rights issues like women's and even LGBT rights, it is worse. Further, the minority element (and real threat) of radical Islam within their community cannot be pretended away.
