No other creed has these issues.

Sometimes when we dislike or fear others it's because we don't know them.
If space aliens were studying us, and all they had to go on was our news outlets they'd concluded the human race is very violent. But because the news doesn't speak of all the non-violent members of the human race they would really know us.
After 9/11 I visited a mosque a couple of times (is that liberal?). I sat at a picnic table with about 20 or so of them. They shared milk and cookies with me. They did not agree with the perpetrators of 9/11. In fact, they didn't think they were real Muslims. Still, they were being persecuted as if they did it. Their mosque was being vandalised, they were being discriminated against in the marketplace, and they couldn't let their children go outside and play. My heart went out to them.
Maybe instead of just going by all the bad news about Muslims, you should make an effort to get to know some Muslims that aren't in the news (the lying media).

Are your choices only hard left or hard right? The world isn't just black and white. It's filled with all kinds of colors, including gray.
I know it's likely too liberal for you, but I became a Mugwump so that I wouldn't have to hate either one. Or actually, maybe, so that I could hate both equally, when I feel like hating, which is rare.
The human race is worthy of hate. But not all of them. Most, in fact, aren't. Same with Muslims.
But you won't convince Steve Bannon of that. He's not only hard right, but is Alt-right. Is it a conservative thing to hate all but white Christians? I don't think it's a Christian thing (unless it's a Catholic thing during the Crusades).
Here's something that's touching :
Keep the faith: Muslim activists raise $55,000 in just HOURS to rebuild Jewish cemetery where vandals destroyed 154 gravestones
