Did the KKK represent all white Christian males?
Just because it was made up Christian men that doesn’t mean all those Christians are bad people. The same goes for Muslims, I know many good and peaceful muslims who hate the Muslim brotherhood and the fanatics just as much as the rest of us.
No you don't. You know Muslims that TELL you that.
Plus your dumb comment is dumb.
"I know many members of the Nazi Party that only joined because they grew up with it but they hate the Nazis as much as anyone".
That's your mentality on Islam but with Nazis.
Would you let 10 million Nazis into your country based on that sort of idiocy? No you would not.
Is it because most Muslims are brown? Is it a way of virtue signaling?
First off you don’t know anything about me, I happen to live in a community with many Muslims and I’ve had very mixed feelings towards them over the years. Saying I don’t know them when I have grown up with them, worked alongside them and been in many an argument and even fights with them and also have made Muslim friends, is actually just showing you ignorance. At the end of the day they are just regular people.
You’re making the mistake of thinking radical versions of Islam such as Wahhabism represent all of Islam, or the actions of a relatively few extremists represent all Muslims. If that were the case we would be in all out war already.
Do you think all the Germans who joined the nazi party were evil? If not then ask yourself why did they join? It was the nazi ideology that was evil but it was presented to the Germans as patriotic, noble, righteous and anyone who spoke out against it was promptly silenced. It’s ideology and beliefs that can be dangerous so at least educate yourself and go after the Muslim brotherhood or Wahhabism rather than stupidly tarring all Muslims with the same brush.

I guess we'll find out in the years ahead if this is true or not.
There has been attacks and attempted attacks over recent years but unless there's been more than is being reported, the attacks seem to be becoming less or it may be that some groups or individuals are awaiting instructions...
Let's hope the radicals are a dying breed, we don't want another ~Manchester event to occur.

In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:
It was written in their Koran, (that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.[25]
Jefferson reported the conversation to Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay, who submitted the ambassador's comments and offer to Congress. Jefferson argued that paying tribute would encourage more attacks. Although John Adams agreed with Jefferson, he believed that circumstances forced the U.S. to pay tribute until an adequate navy could be built. The U.S. had just fought an exhausting war, which put the nation deep in debt. Federalist and Anti-Federalist forces argued over the needs of the country and the burden of taxation.

No, the Old Testament is Christianity. Jesus came to fulfill the law, the words of the prophets. Christianity goes right to the start, when Abel sacrificed the lamb, which represented the sacrifice of the lamb of God. Actually before then, when Jesus slew the animal to clothe Adam and Eve, in the garden of Eden.

The Old Testament is part of the Jewish Torah. That is not Christianity, it is in the bible as a historical perspective, but Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, from whom the name Christianity is taken, and which are in the New Testament. Jesus said the old ways were over, and instructed his followers to a new way which is written in the New Testament. Christianity didn't exist until Jesus Christ started preaching. The Old Testament was written, and it's events occurred before Christ was born. The Old Testament are part of the Jewish tradition.

The attacks becoming less?... Where have you been living? Don't you know what is happening in Europe from the waves of Muslim immigrants? Western women/westernized women being attacked, even when they are out with their boyfriends/husbands. Even in concerts the amounts of sexual attacks on women has increased because of the Muslim migration from areas where radicalism in the ME is prominent.
Countries like Germany have resorted to telling western/westernized women to not go alone outside. In the UK, the authorities gave women "bracelets" which had written "do not touch me" or something similar... As if that would stop the attacks...
Your claim that attacks are becoming less is false. Even radical Muslim/terrorist attacks are increasing in Europe, not decreasing.
