If you try to force people not to be afraid—it has the opposite effect. Particularly if you're the government using force of law.  

The term can be interpreted as being there to protect muslims the people. Which we all agree should have equal protection. But the term can also be applied to protecting Islam the doctrine. All people should be protected. But no other doctrine was singled out for special protection. This is obvious preferential treatment—which creates resentment. 

"Islamophobia" was coined by the Muslim Brotherhood for this exact kind of political trench warfare. Labeling critics as evil and hateful is a gift. Saudi Arabia banned the MB btw.

But using force of law will make people good right? If you protested at the G20 and a corporate security squad beat you—would that make you love corporations? How about if the law said they should beat you? Or harass you in court for disagreeing with them? Would that make you increase your love for them? or the opposite?
