This kind of thing is the sharp end of Islamophobia, it's happening constantly, and it's escalating across Europe. Which is why I think anyone who says they're 'okay with Islamophobia' is either stunningly stupid or a WUM at best, or an outright racist-bigot at worst. Read the articles again, change the word 'muslim' to the word 'jew', the word 'mosque/islamic community centre' to 'synagogue/jewish community centre', and the neo-Nazi nature of this campaign becomes stark staringly obvious.
And non-violent Islamophobes basically just serve to give ideological cover to the outright Nazis, even if that isn't their intention. There's no such thing as 'respectable anti-semitism', and there's no such thing as 'respectable Islamophobia' either. The two are ideological twins rooted in the same racist outlook.
