They cut off your hands, stone your wife and rape your kids. And then kill you and your kids.

This is not xenophobia. This is keeping your freedom. It is understandable to see banning of a religious place of worship to be an example of a lack of freedom, but it is parallel to the banning of NAZI revival. To protect freedom, you have to shun that which is against freedom.

I was speaking hypothetically. What if the tables were turned and the Europeans were the hand severing, wife stoning, child raping, savages and the Moslems were the civilized people who had a western world that brought prosperity for them? What if they objected to the Europeanization of Arabia, and the flood of Europeans? And the Moslems decided to issue a ban, would you still consider it "xenophobic"? (This being purely hypothetical, of course).
