Judaism is a religion, but throughout history jews has been blamed in conspiratorial ways, harassed, and discriminated which culminated in the holocaust. In essence it has always been about pointing to something people perceive as different and blaming them for stuff. I think mostly being aggressively critical of islam is a very simple way to view the world. There has been no causal relationship between islam and crime versus say, a christian given that every thing else stays the same. Saying that it is then is in fact, racist, because it build on some idea that even though evidence shows that this particular attribute does not make a person more violent they wont take it. If any observation is made about muslim people committing more crime than par, you have to look at surrounding factors. Islam and race is equated because all the surrounding factors of old school "I hate their skin color"-racism are still in place. Of course it's alright to criticise specific religious practices and stuff, but there are a lot of people using the critique of islam to cover up their actual racism too. Personally I don't believe that religion should have anything to do with politics.

The rape-thing is something that is debatable too. honestly. While it seems that men who are taken away everything often resort to taking pride in extreme masculinity, and this can lead to sexual violence, it's hard to actually show evidence that rape is more common among these minorities than with native people. It's really a infected debate, and sexual violence is an issue that is viewed from a lot of angles. Pro-women movements claim that the same people calling immigrants rapists are the same that doesn't do a thing for women otherwise, and more often than not are people who are very sexist.

We have a smaller government, but even our government delegates responsibility to regions, who delegates responsibility to the municipalities. So most of it is run on a micro-level. The US has states who are probably capable of doing more or less the same thing, and redistribution of wealth doesn't require any more advanced redistributionary infrastructure than is already in place. But of course, these things aren't that easy to predict.

There seems to be very little that we actually agree on politically, but that's fine with me I don't mind people having different opinions. But I think we are gonna have to agree to disagree in the end.
