And the problems of the OP are not looking at actual crime statistics in the public domain. Such as FBI and Europol accounts.
Instead of actually believing Muslims commit most rapes in Europe because an anti-Islam website says so. Seriously I'm tired of people posting youtube videos as evidence. When someone wants to make a point, they better bring credible statistics, preferrably by responsible qualified authorities - Like the Europol or any national police organization certified as such. As a general rule, immigrants tend to commit more crimes because they are marginalized and need to make a living or a sense of belonging - That applies to most immigrants, not just Muslim or brown skinned ones - That's why there's many immigrants in prison, but that's not a problem with religion, it's a problem with finding the balance to integrate people and not worsen the conditions they live in.
Islam is a religion like any other, it has nutjob ideas, some average ones, some good ones (like the anti-racist element) - It has average Muslims, nutjob Muslims, decent Muslims, good Muslims - To say that one religion is magically worse or better is a special pleading fallacy and the original argument against religion becomes invalid. I don't support or endorse Islam, or any religion at all, I just don't think they're inferior to Christians. Does it bother people that much that they don't eat pork the same way westerns do not eat cat and dog meat? Do hijabs bother that much the same way it bothers you to see a long skirt or a silly big hat or turban?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
