It's not the Asians, Indians, South Americans people complain about like this. Except for some people that get mad about competition for jobs. Problem is Islam is both a backwards and deeply political religion. Dharmic religions are highly non-exlusionist by nature and see all paths to god as having some validity. Christianity is exclusionist but Jesus was a pacifist and inherently saw faith as personal and attacked its politicization or control by the state. Islam is strongly the opposite.
India and Pakistan were one country in 1947. Only difference is religion. Look at the difference in directions the countries are going.
If I were head of a country I would consider accepting non-Muslims or perhaps those that renounce Islam, though of course people could lie, and you get into issues of freedom of conscience to do something about it...
