In this respect, it will have a negative effect on the lives of the majority of Muslims living in the west, especially in Europe. A significant percentage of the European population already distrusts Muslims, and has contempt for Muslims and Islam.

This may also be used as another justification/excuse for western imperialism (war and exploitation) in primarily Islamic countries.
