I think that the respective governments are to blame mainly. These news companies do spread the fear and their mongering causes it to escalate but I think they do it because they have the reassurance that the proper authorities won't take solid action against these hate crimes. I have seen the way synagogues and churches are protected in the face of hate crimes yet I don't see the same level of involvement and care when it comes to mosques and protecting muslim communities. I think we should hold our government and government officials responsible and demand they put more time, effort, and resources to protecting muslim communities.
