When you compare the two present day...which one is making waves globally? Which one has tech savvy people at their disposal? Which one has a higher number of lost souls willing to die for the cause?
The fact that the first Christian hate group mentioned is the KKK should put some perspective into the dire situation we're facing today. Muslim extremists make the KKK look like slapdicks.

Well then you and I, and others, certainly read the original post differently, because I still think you're making a big leap to connect the original post to the mostly salient points you're making now.
Nothing about that leap makes the points you're making incorrect, or the type that I even necessarily disagree with when we're talking about scope -- but as far as I can tell, it's a conversation that you introduced to this thread, not Riot, because you two are not talking about the same thing at all. The fact that the scope is greater now doesn't invalidate her original post in any way about people of all religions using their religion to justify that. These two conversations are not mutually exclusive.
