I really don't wanna research/run down the material, I just recall thinking upon reading this http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/did_trump-style_islamophobia_break_up_the_european_union_video_20160626 that some were exaggerating the role islamophobia had.

If it would have differed, my "indisputable" claim stands.
