So you'd suggest, what, that the media in the US, Canada and the EU ignore the problem? Treat it as if it weren't anything to concern ourselves about? Maybe if we just don't talk about it, the #######s who live in our countries won't act like #######s? I'm not sure what exactly what your goal is here. This is a global problem, it's everyone's business, and it's absolutely something people need to be concerned about.
I also think Trump's rhetoric is something to be concerned about, for various reasons. He's going to fail, he's going to blame his failure on others like the "establishment", his die-hard supporters are going to agree with him and become bitter and resentful vis a vis the "establishment", and will further radicalize and do crazy ####. But those actions aren't a matter of rational self-preservation, so what's the sense in telling people, "no need to beat up that woman in a hijab, you're more likely to die in a car crash than from a bomb made by someone who looks kind of like her"?
