This is not hard to follow, try and keep up.

Qanon supporters represent a small fraction of Republicans. Muslim extremists represent a small fraction of Muslims.

Your comment talks about the "acceptable percentage" of Republicans who believe in Qanon. Travel bans for Muslims were justified based on the rise in Islamic terrorism - e.g. "An unacceptable percentage of Muslims are engaged in terrorism, we must ban ALL of them."

In both cases the majority is misrepresented by the minority. In both cases criticism against the minority is misapplied to the majority. In the first case you argue that this is justified, whereas I argue in both cases it is not.

It is wrong because Muslims and Muslim Terrorists are two different groups. It is wrong because Republicans and Qanon Crazies are two different groups.

> What stereotypes am I propagating?

Oh, so you are arguing in bad faith. Nevermind.
