I grew up in a Muslim country (a nice one, btw). They were not trusting most neighboring Muslim countries and the people from those countries. They know what they know and act accordingly.
In my native country, people did not like Gypsies (that was quite a long time ago, now it's no longer the case). This is because of the quantity of negative experiences with them, not because they are of a certain race or religion. The situation changed a lot when the number of negative incidents decreased, which confirms that the criminality is the factor, not something else.
