There certainly is some xenophobia in the UK, but I don't think it's any more than you get in the rest of the world. It's linked more to the constant scapegoating of right-wing politics than any actual cultural conflict.

Scapegoating, in this case, is a consequence of an action. Not the other way around. No, I can not speak for other countries but I do follow international news. And that tells me that right wing parties are gaining a massive following all over western Europe, that's no coincidence.
I'm not being racist, I'm being realistic. Teenagers with an Islamic background, mostly Moroccan, represent the vast majority of crime records in my country. We have a TV show here that helps solve unsolved crimes by showing camera footage and providing details so people can call in if they have useful information. I watch this show from time to time and more than half the people who appear in the shown camera footage are Moroccan teenagers and a good 9 out of 10 people are foreign immigrants. The moments where an actual native Dutchman appears on that show are extremely few and far between.
And it would be too easy to say the TV show is doing it on purpose. It's a mixture of culture clash, bad upbringing and immigrants who simply don't give a flying fuck about the rules and customs of the country they are a guest in. All of which is ignored by the left wing parties who would have you believe that everything is fine. They stick their heads in the sand and call other parties racist before someone else calls them racist for ignoring the matter completely.
