Good post. One of the problems is that Islam comes in so many different guises - Barbary pirates, Saracens, Ottomans, Seljuks, Fatimids, Abbasids, Moors, Tatars, Arabs,Turks etc that the problem isn't identifiable to the ordinary person.
In England we didn't develop a folk memory because Catholic Spain and France emerged as greater foes, and the Turks were seen as an ally against the Russians. Then the Arabs against the Turks. In India and elsewhere in the Empire Muslims came under our rule and many colonial Brits from that perspective saw no danger.
Too many have taken on board the politically correct history that the Crusades were the worst thing that ever happened.
