I posted these two comments together as they seem to be the same idea, and insha Allah I will better explain what I mean.
If umm you read the second part of the statement I made it should be obvious that there is a difference between 'hearing about Allah' as you said, and being exposed to the TRUTH as I mentioned. This is not the same thing. We cannot equate Islamophobia and the truth as being identical.
We are judged according to our knowledge. There may be a Kaffir out there who sincerly worships to the best of his or her knowledge. If this person is not ever exposed to ISLAM how will he or she be judged based on Islamic principals? For many in the west, the only knowledge they have about Islam is some seriously distorted message that even you yourself would reject.
To go a bit deeper, if that very same person went about SEEKING Islam and was therefore exposed to the true reachings of Islam and then rejects it, this is another matter entirely. Exactly like Pharoah, who was fully aware of the truth and rejected it.
As for the daleel you asked for sister, I know it was in one of the kids text books from the Islamic school. Insha Allah I will locate the source for you and let you know.
I believe that like all things in Islam, this matter is really just common sense. As you said Umm our religion is not hard to understand.
Jazak Allah Khairn,

PS- I just want to add something for thought. I don't believe in my heart that there is anyone on this board who gives presidence to non-Muslims. We all have different strengths and weaknesses and we should insha Allah let them compliment each other without harboring any feelings of suspicion, annimosity, or arrogancy. These are diseases and may Allah protect us from them. Let's keep our intentions only for our Creator and make all our deeds to serve His cause.
