You're mixing politics and religion. Was Germany bad in the 30's and 40's? Yes. How did that reflect on peaceful Christianity? It didn't.Did Iran seize the US embassy, take 50 some people hostage and hold them over a year? Has Iran been attempting to build nuclear weapons? Is Iran an Islamic theocracy? How does that add up to a peaceful Islam?

The comment was about Iran's seizure of the US embassy, development of nuclear weapons, and form of government. The embassy seizure and nuclear development are political and not religious issues. So the comparison with Germany is valid.Iran is a self proclaimed Muslim theocracy. Nazi Germany, while it had a predominantly Christian population, was not in any sort or manner a Christian theocracy.
The only remaining Christian theocracy is the Vatican. In addition to Iran, other current theocratic states are Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Yemen all of which are Muslim and not known for being on the leading edge of civilization.
Those “Studies” obviously include the terrorist parent who raise their voices in school board meetingsThe last time I saw any figures, the proportion of global terrorism tied to Muslims was pretty low, well under half. And terrorism is politically and not religiously driven as terrorist acts go against religious scripture. There's nothing to show that Muslims are less able to coexist peacefully than people of other creeds. Tolerance is a tenet of the faith. Conflict and war are common in the world for people of all religions, although waging those wars goes against the religions. Christianity teaches peace but many (most?) wars involve Christian countries. We should not conflate political or territorial motives with religious ones.
Saudi Arabia executes people by beheading. Is it confirmed they threw some to their deaths?
Thanks for that. The Saudi government likes to kill people, that's for sure.No, you were right to question that (though it may have happened. I had my wires crossed. It looks like they just imprison or flog some people for being gay there. In Iran and Yemen they can and sometimes will kill you just for being gay. Here is some good reading on that.

Exactly. People cannot bring up 2020 without being called a conspiracy theorist.
Hiliary has always been a witch (spelled with a "b" too), a hag, a nag, a fool, a liar, and most other negative personality traits; and none of them are improving with age. She was born corrupt to the core. The sooner she just goes away and we never have to hear or see her again, the better we'll all be for it.
But with Biden"s galloping inflation at 10%, your 3% gain is actually reduced to a 7% loss, so your $10,000 actually has a purchasing power of $9300.I find this funny because you're accusing people of being dumb when you're the one not thinking rationally. If I have a $10,000 loan that's interest free for one year, it'll still be $10000 this time next year. Suppose I have $10000 on hand. I can choose to pay the loan off now or invest it and get an expected 3% annual return. If I use the money to pay off the loan today, there is no loan, but my 10k is completely gone. If I invest it, next year I'll have $10,300 dollars. Then I can cash out, take 10k to pay off the loan, and pocket $300. What's smarter, to pay it off today or in a year?
$113,000 fine for involvement with the stele dossier. We will never see true justice with Bill/Hill dawg as long as they can pay lawyer fees.Hiliary has always been a witch (spelled with a "b" too), a hag, a nag, a fool, a liar, and most other negative personality traits; and none of them are improving with age.
