I don't know if it is second to xenophobia, tied to it, or just a reaction to immigration issues. Germany's Islamophobia is tied tightly to immigration of Turks and Indonesians. I figure the same is true of France's Islamophobia. The one thing they all have in common, is anti-Semitism and anti-immigration sentiments. Xenophobia is always an issue, but more often than not, it always seems to be tied back to one group, the Jews.
