I am not a Christian or a Muslim, and I'm appalled at the double standard of the Left.
If you've heard of Michael Savage, he labeled the Left mentality that you have described "a mental disorder." As far as I can tell, it really is. In truth, they have been brainwashed for decades by the Progressives who hate Christians and are willing to put their heads literally on the chopping block for Muslims if it damages Christians....it's a mental disorder and they have zero degree of rational thought or logical proportionality.

Well, Osama fundamentally changed America as he promised and this lays squarely on the backs of moonbats who put him in office. They were taken like fools.

No matter how cray they might be, America has freedom of religion and there is nothing we can do to stop them from practicing their religion in the manner they see fit.

but we need not allow them the privilege of living in America, unless they are already citizens.

A fallacious argument we see here over and over again. No one on the left gives a free pass to terrorists, we just refuse to paint an entire religion with the broad brush of radicalism because of the actions of a very small segment within that religion. But no matter how many times we say that, conservatives pretend we never qualified our position, and merely revert back to their self-created pretense that all liberals give a pass to all Muslims.

You refuse to acknowledge what we say because it doesn't fit into your narrative and then you would have nothing to be "appalled" about. And that is what is truly appalling here.

If I could quote Obama to sum it up:

'KKK and Crusades are Christian, but ISIS has nothing to do with Islam'

No one is obligated to rally about anything

If I were a Muslim, I wouldn't hold a rally either. It's not their job to make you comfortable and allay your fears.

Do you really believe the nonsense you post?

You are correct but the deafing silence is taken as approval so they place themselves in the same class. Libets crack me up. They encourage black lives matter to burn, destroy and spew racism bit when an entire class of people don't speak out against real atrocities is ok. Good God, liberalism is either a severe mental disability or they just aren't that smart or both.

This is why your argument gets little support. Many will agree that it is a small percentage of Muslims that are radical. With 1.2 billion Muslims world wide only around 20 percent are radical. Or just over 200 million around the world.

It only took 19 radicals to kill over 3000 people on 9/11. The small minority that you are not concerned with are the ones killing people and the rest of moderate Muslims were irrelevant on that day. Yes we have over 2 million Muslims in the USA that were irrelevant when the small number of radicals go about attacking and killing the greatest number possible. And this is the story that we see over and over from the Boston Bombers to the Paris attack. Small numbers killing large numbers of innocent people who just want to live their lives the best they can like most people in this world.
It's sad to have to throw the baby out with the bath water. We wouldn't have to do that if the Muslims were willing to accept and act in accord with the Constitution and renounce Sharia Law and attempt to assimilate into this country without asking for special favor or expecting others to give up their rights under the Constitution to accommodate them.

This short youtube says it better :

So what if it's taken as approval by the likes of you. And? Are they supposed to be considerate of your feelings about Muslims?

As for the Black Lives Matter movement, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I've never rendered an opinion on it nor will I.
