Recent demonstrations and rising tensions in Europe seem to indicate that the idea that Muslims will be the new Jews will come to pass.
While Muslims are saying "America out of our Muslim lands" - something that we share because we reject American intervention in the Muslim World - the equivalent that would read something like 'Muslims out of our American lands" seems to be the logical alternative.
If you were to say 'Britain out of our Muslim lands", the equivalent would be "Muslims out of our British lands" and this would be entirely logical.
The demonstrators by saying "America out of our Muslim lands" implicitly say that Muslims cannot be American and Muslims at the same time.
By differentiating themselves and setting themselves apart from the rest of us, the young Muslims are making themselves a target.
