None of them were known to behead living human beings, or work for world domination, or stone women to death, or burn captured humans in cages, or run down children & women & men using trucks.
I just entered the thread and was formulating a response when I read yours, which is what I was groping for.
Let’s do this exercise: take the verbiage about IRA, Bader Meinhof Gang, the Italian Red Brigades, and FARC in Colombia, the KKK, and the Viet Cong like this from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. www.frontline.org.za/books_videos/sti.htm which is well documented by recent (at least the last 50 years) history. Let’s replace “Muslim” with “Bader Meinhof Gang”:
******************************************
As long as the Bader Meinhof Gang population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Bader Meinhof Gang. Like any other minority, they won’t integrate, but work to build their own separate community.
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa’s Bader Meinhof Gang population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Bader Meinhof Gangs. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves (along with threats for failure to comply).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Bader Meinhof Gang; Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world, but to establish Bader Meinhof Gang law over the entire world.
When Bader Meinhof Gangs reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (Ei: car-burnings in France last October.) Any non-Bader Meinhof Gang action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats.
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning (India, Mindanao, Philippines).
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare [Indonesia].
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Bader Meinhof Gang Law as a weapon and Jizya (infidel tax). (Sudan, Kosovo, Lebanon and Egypt).
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide [Western Papua (New Guinea), Iran, Biafra, Turkey and North Nigeria]. 10
0% will usher in the peace of “Bader Meinhof Gang” - Gang of Peace - as in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.

If you try the same thing by replacing “Muslim” with KKK, IRA, Italian Red Brigades, Viet Cong, FARC, or even “The Symbionese Liberation Movement”, they simply do not work, because they are not the same. Nothing personal here, drop 50 and fire for effect, but they simply doesn’t work for the reason they are NOT the same thing.
