I don`t think thats true as such , maybe in some middle eastern muslim countries but not in Europe.

I think what it stems from is more the way American culture is taking over everything.I`ve seen nice French bistros here turned into fast food chain outlets , I`ve seen old pubs steeped with tradition turned into horrible theme pubs. I find it hard to see now British indie movies because the cinemas are full of the latest crap from Hollywood , usually some sh*tty sequal.

I think thats where the resentment comes from.
