Do you think the same applies to white Caucasian Muslims? They do exist.

With that said, they're still human, and the majority of them have human values we can all share. Maybe if you said Arabs, that'd be different. Maybe. But you said Muslims, which can include white people too.
A straw man argument is when you attack something someone hasn't said as if they'd said it. If I'd said that Cmd King wanted to get rid of all the Christians and make Islam the official religion of the UK and then attacked that, it would be a straw man. When I said that a high proportion of Muslims in the UK want homosexuality outlawed and Cmd King talks about opposition to LGBTQ* education, he's talking as if I'd mentioned Muslims opposing LGBTQ* education, and I hadn't. What I said about Muslims in the UK isn't a straw man argument, because I never argued against anything Cmd King hadn't said as if he'd said it.

As regards what you wrote... Most of the discussion was about massive Muslim immigration into the UK, which is mostly not white, but I also want to be clear that it isn't a racial thing. I keep saying immigration needs to be controlled, but I wouldn't want to see it halted; we need new ideas from time to time, and immigrants help bring those. I don't care what someone's skin color is and I think that's about the stupidest way to judge someone.

And yet, a high majority of Christians might want that too, especially if they listen to the Pope, because he is hardly the most progressive pope on this issue. The point was to say, don't judge. Look at how the GOP here reacts to gay marriage, that old-time religious intolerance. It's not limited to just Islam.

Most Christians do NOT want to outlaw homosexuality. By far most people in the UK would be fine having an LGBTQ* neighbor. Most Christians even in the U.S. say that LGBTQ* should be accepted by society.

Okay, I misworded it. I'd say a high majority of Christians don't want gay marriage. Sorry. Difference. The two are not remotely the same.

Do you live in some alternate universe where Trump totally hasn't been made out to be literally Hitler since the day he decided to run as a Republican? The thing that helped him to win was how ridiculous the media got with it, to the point that they were completely transparent about their bias against him.

I'm talking strictly about disproportional media coverage. His scandals only covered a few days, at best, same with the millions of emails Bush deleted. While her emails got 500 days of coverage. You don't think that's slanted to fit a narrative?

Again, do you live in an alternate universe were the media hasn't been going nuts over Trump and predicting an absurd 98% landslide victory for Clinton?

They actually predicted that she would get more votes.
..What mirror universe?
