It IS from a distance because that's what the courts have ordered. But if anyone is so naive as to think that people who behead innocent victims (who have in some cases converted to Islam), kidnap girls for sex slaves, burn captives alive, have driven thousands from their home, and have a worldwide reach...are no more threatening than one small congregation in Kansas whose people holds up signs saying "God Hates F**s," we deserve to be worried that it might be catching. ;)

Indeed.

Of course not, but he still thought of himself to be a Christian
He did not.

He and his entourage considered Christianity to be weak and little more than a variety of Judaism. Christians were among the first of the Germans to be sent to the camps.

Here's the mistake you're making. The fear is real and it's here. Trump may be addressing it, but he didn't create something that didn't already concern the American public. That's part of the reason why he's gained the following he has.

Had he made up something nonsensical like, for example, that the world will end in 2050 because of a one degree increase in Earth's average temperature, he'd have been dismissed as just another crank.

Look at how well the politicians who HAVE tried to create fear by using that approach are doing at present. LOL

ISIS scare me too but it is a fear I can handle far more than that of intolerance and hate crimes
Are we as a people incapable of confronting more than one social problem at a time, Bethany?

I'm someone who stands for peace not war

Speaking of peace, and the complete and deadly antithesis to it, here is something you may be interested in reading. It's the account of a woman who was taken captive by Boko Haram, an Islamic group, the leader of which, Abubakar Shekau, has pledged allegiance to ISIS:

What is it you were saying about peace?
