People’s supposed deficiencies are historical facts, not natural traits

Evidence

It is important to clarify that by suggesting that a phenomenon lingers or resides dormant, does not necessarily mean that the same phenomenon remains unchanging and constant or indeed that the people that might draw upon this are normatively anti-Muslim, anti-Islamic. On the contrary, by endemic it is meant that such views and understandings are a condition of a particular setting or people: something that can be drawn upon and expressed in different ways and at different times as well as being rejected and replaced also. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 200 (#expands, via linked claim)
