If ISIS Was White & Christian?

Let's ask the world a hypothetical question. If ISIS the terrorist group was predominantly composed of White people and was about Christian extremism opposed to Islamic extremism, how do you think the world's reaction to it would differ? I honestly think that the world would be more inclined to seriously act and take it out immediately. I think most of the West still has hang-ups about Naziism and would therefore be fast to stop our own from going down the same path, and that people would be less likely to blow it off. Given that the Middle East is so notorious for terrorism and violence in the modern western mind, I believe that we have a tendency to dismiss ISIS as "just another terrorist group" and therefore not take it seriously. That's also not to mention that the Democrats in America would probably be more likely to speak out against ISIS if it was White and Christian since they wouldn't have to abide by the political correctness stuff, and therefore American society itself would take it more seriously since I believe that the public is a bit more trusting of the Democrats than the Republicans who seemingly want to go to war with everyone (although I personally hate both equally).

    Aren't the Russians white and christian? Are we not demonizing them for their role in Ukraine? Of course, they aren't massacring captives, -blam!- women and selling children into slavery.
