You make a good point, and I agree with you that both Christianity and Islam are similar in their "my way or the highway" approach - but I'd be interested in seeing even an approximate estimation of how many people died at the "Will of Allah" as compared to the "Will of God".
Obviously, both have had tremendous uprisings (their own Crusades, etc.), but what's going on today is different in my eyes.
Christian thinkers are taking quite the Reactionary approach to how we should with Muslim fanatics, as I believe 9/11 and our subsequent actions show us.
I could be wrong - surely, I wouldn't presume to dictate something that others may find offensive, but it's just my opinion.
C.O'D.
An exercise comparing the number of people who died due to the two religions would be quite a gruesome task. For example, the conquistadors killed 90% of Incas (27 million folks), 80% of Aztecs (about 25 million) - all in the name of gold, glory, and God. Add to that the number of slaves killed in Africa, the Irish catholics vs protestant deaths, and the numbers begin to add up.
Regarding Islam, it would be hard to fathom their butchery. In Delhi alone, 50% of the population was killed by TimurLane. The brutality of Mohammad Ghazni, Mohammad Ghouri, etc is too much to enumerate.
The one big difference is that Christians have begun to realize what Jesus said and are heading in that emancipated direction. Islam, on the other hand, will forever be stuck in a medieval savagery.
