Islam has existed for 1400 years - it in its first 400 years cared little of the outside world and rarely came in contact with it.
It has existed as a major religion but the problem of radicals is true in every society since the dawn of organized societies (and even before).
And I am not surprised America would have a large population of people who have an "islamaphobia" - given that America is heavily Christian, and given the history of antagonization between the two (its almost a tradition honestly), it is not surprising.
