To Christians, who make up about 80 percent of Kenya’s population and have long dominated political and social institutions, the rise comes with a tinge of menace. Even in places like the predominantly Somali northeast, where few turned to Christianity after the late 19th-century arrival of missionaries, Christians ran the schools and dispensaries, drilled boreholes, and raised orphans. For Muslims, the missionaries’ efforts improved their standard of living, and they simply shrugged at the crosses over the doors of their children’s mission schools.

Add this to the long list of reasons why religion is more trouble than it's worth.
But I fail to see how this problem is one sided. Kenya deliberately justified discrimination against ALL Muslims as a reaction to an attack by a militant group. This is called 'being an idiot.' We know all about that here in the US. No intelligent person has knee jerk reactions, but behold, they happen all the time when religion in involved.
But I fail to see how any reasonable person can be surprised the violence is increasing from the Islamic radicals in Kenya. That's an example of retaliation. If the violence continues once efforts to start giving them equal rights, then you can demonize the Muslims of Kenya.
Keep religion out of things that aren't religious. Schools, government, basically everything. You want to have a peaceful and intelligent society, that's how you do it. Unfortunately, too many people want a religious society, despite the fact that, in today's world, that will do more harm than good.
Kill all jihadi and their families and their families familes... until we restart the world.. because that is what they would wish for us
Kill them without thinking any thought except survival
When I see Muslim soldiers for America by the thousands then Ill look at being tolerant of a religion that at its core has murder written into it as a precept
