The two are not mutually exclusive. Belief systems influence actions. Obviously it makes sense to call out the Neo Nazis within the Trump movement, so why wouldnt it make sense to criticize ideas which are effectively fascist held by a much larger number of Muslims, even those who have immigrated to western democracies.

Because they're Neo Nazis. Not Neo Christians. I criticize the fascist beliefs of many of my countrymen but it has nothing to do with their religion.

Please, hang out with some Muslims. They're just regular folks like anyone else. If more people in the US understood this it would help a lot. It might also show the problems with targeting "Radical Islamic Terrorism" when it could also be "Radical Crime Committed by People With Various Motivations and Worldviews Many of Whom Hail From a Region With a Troubled Past, the Causes of Which are Myriad and Require Some Study of Post WWI Imperial Policy Among Other Things"
