Go to a mosque and you will see they worship the same God as Christians do and that they recognize Jesus as an important prophet, however, focus on Mohammad as their main prophet. Don't be fooled by what the media portrays. We don't condemn Christianity when a young, white male does a horrific act. Every group has its bad apples. It is admirable to respect people different than us.
Agree with much of what you say, but not going to argue anything. Would just add that if Christmas is under attack it's from within and it's been that way for a very long time. People of all faiths have the capability to do evil, often with a religious agenda and rationalization to justify it. Likewise people of all faiths may very well display more Christ-like qualities than professed Christians. When the sheep and the goats are separated the diversity of those in each group will be amazing (grace).
