I think if Muslims become the supposed "bad guy" again.
In a way, I think it's kind of a good time to be a Muslim in the United States. Of course, many people are utterly clueless about Islam and I think almost perceive Muslims like they're from another planet.
But I think here in the US the anti-Muslim hysteria of the early 2000's has died down. I think the state is focused on a campaign against white conservatives as their political enemies. They don't like Islam or anything that's socially conservative but Muslims like a 2% minority here. The white conservative Republican elements are almost like half the country. So they're sort of at war with that element. I think they're too focused on white conservatives to really focus on rallying the people against Muslims. And anti-Muslim rhetoric could play into the hands of the conservatives as it could turn people against the "diversity" stuff.
But now suddenly they kind of need that element if they want to fight a hot war with Russia. But yet they're at war with them as their political enemies.
The theory I've seen is that socially conservative elements in the West will be painted as Russian agents. If you rail against Western decadence and such- you will be a "Putin agent". And so I guess they will rally people around defense of "democracy" which apparently means degeneracy.
I just don't see how they win this conflict. No hardline defender of degeneracy is really the fighting type. And no red-blooded conservative element is really going to want to fight what the West now stands for. It seems unwinnable for the West.
