Why Islamiphobia?

I am trying to figure out why there is Islamiphobia and I have come up with ten possible reasons
1. The West believes Muslims were responsible for 9/11
2. The West believes Islam is a violent religion. The bombings in Madrid, London and Bali are examples
3. The fear that suicide bombers and dirty bombs would show up in America.
4. Angry with the Muslims who say that Jesus is no son of God and that the Bible corrupted by the hands of men.
5. Memory of the hundred year war of the Crusade where Christians tried to take back the Holy Lands from the Muslims
6. Muslims have image problem - always portrayed as unshaven guys with a turban holding AK47
7. Fear that Islam would spread in the West and would grab power one day
8. The West believes Muslim women were oppressed and they would like to champion their cause
9. Islam opposes to materialism of the West
10. The West thinks Islam is trying to convert the World
I can't think of any other reason that justifies Islamiphobia
