Slightly different word choice, but with the exception of the reference to Mohammed the same prayer could have been given by a Catholic priest or a Baptist minister.

Yes, I've seen numerous Catholic and Baptist beheading videos on the Internet. And I remember when the Catholics crashed the planes into the World Trade Center, and the Baptists blew up the trains in Spain and England...

We were talking about the words used in this prayer, not what some other Muslims have done.

Anyway, we really don't want to get into a discussion of the actions taken historically by members of various Christian denominations vs. Muslim groups. Over any kind of extended timespan, a comparison like this doesn't look good for Christians.

The relevant point is that very few, essentially no, Christians have committed atrocities in recent decades while claiming their actions are for religious reasons.

Muslims, OTOH, certainly have done so, and with very little criticism from their co-religionists.
