I will agree with you that the actions of Muslims, or rather, inaction, contributed to the hateful environment. One example is the film industry in the West; it became normal that Middle Easterners or Pakistani's are always this evil segment of society, and all conflict is centered around them. There was never any pushback to correct this narrative or an absolute refusal to accept these roles. Rather, for a quick payday, they went along with it, and today it's bearing fruit.
This is just a small example, and this doesn't include the apology squad that was out after 9/11; this made it far worse for the Muslim outlook, as you unintentionally accepted responsibility.
Your actions from yesterday will not affect you today, but will affect your future.
