Is Britain becoming more hostile towards Islam?

I've always been fairly skeptical of all religions, in paticular organised faiths - which includes Islam.

Generally, the discourse that I've involved myself in has been critical of all Abrahamic faiths.

I'm not sure if it's just in my circles, but lately I've noticed a staggering uptick of people I grew up with, who used to be fairly impartial, becoming incredibly vocal about their dislike of specifically Islam.

Keep in mind that these people are generally moderate in their politics and are not involved in discourse like I am, they just... intensely dislike Islam in Britain.

Anyone else noticing this sentiment growing around them?

I'm not in the country, nor have I been for the last four years - what's causing this?
