The Bible says to "know them by their fruits." Muslims sure seem to enjoy killing people? They argue, the West kills more people?
A cursory understanding of history makes it very clear that both Christians and Muslims wage devastating wars, often on the basis of religion, and kill lots of people, and have done so for centuries.
Drawing a conclusion exclusively on the past ~15 years makes no sense whatsoever.
There were lots of cheering Muslims after 9/11, but virtually none who publicly denounced it?
Let me google that for you
Some make the case that the one "god" Muslims worship is Satan.
And Muslims find similar negative terms for Christians and their worship. What's your point?
After all, there is only one Satan
Not quite. Satan, Baal, Beelzebub, Belial, Mephistopholes... There's a variety of evil entities, mostly imported from other religions, in Christian demonology.

I often make the case America was founded on God (the God of Israel) and God's grant of free-will.....
I'm sure you do. But in fact, it was founded by men, and few of their ideas were derived from the New Testament. Concepts like political rights, limited government, elected officials, competing branches of government, constitutional law, and the importance of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" do not exist anywhere in the New Testament. They were drawn from the philosophies of men as varied as Locke, Hume, Hobbes, Rousseau and others.
I've also made the case that liberalism is aligned with Satan.
Nice. Good to see that you have a healthy dose of the basic tolerance that makes a pluralistic society possible. :doh
Are Muslim's simply plagued with a faction of Satanists, like we in the West are plagued with liberal's? Or are they worshiping a different god, or Satan himself?
They submit to Allah. That's why they are Muslims. And it is just as easy for
them to proclaim that Christians are the ones who are wrong, and are worshipping Satan, as it is for a Christian to make that accusation against a Muslim.
Billions of souls are on the line and billion's of people are weighing the choice? The Middle East is in flames and the fire is spreading. Sixteen countries are involved in violent overthrows of their governments.....
This sort of "contest of good versus evil" is, in fact, derived from the pagan belief of Manichaeism.

Radical Islam bases much of its indictment of the West on the sexual corruptions - the gay agenda. How can we Westerner's make the "know them by their fruits" argument against Muslims or radical Muslims, when we legalize SSM?
Egads
Muslims and Christians have been fighting, on and off, for well over a thousand years. It certainly didn't start with, or because of, the rise of gay rights groups in the US. The current conflicts have nothing to do with sexual permissiveness, it's a result of European powers colonizing the Arab world, screwing things up, taking their resources and propping up dictators for decades after the colonial arrangements ended, as well as supporting Israel. Religion is merely a convenient fig leaf for the political issues.
The question of "do Muslims and Christians worship the same deity?" is a complex theological and historical question. Your proposals here lack the basic understanding, and the basic ability to regard these two religions neutrally, to even begin to address the issue.
