It is just xenophobia and bigotry pure and simple. You rile up a bunch of people to be afraid of some group you can "other" (like Syrian muslims) then you stoke that fear with whatever happens, no matter the details. San Bernardino! Nice! Belgium! Xenophobia only requires the thinnest of threads of realism to become full blown.
