One of the reasons that there are no exploding Christians is because Christians, through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, have a sure mechanism for Salvation. Islam does not. They have no assurance of being worthy of Paradise through acts as they can never be sure they are Muslim enough. The only way they can gain entrance into Paradise is Martyrdom.
The main reason is Christianity is the religion of Western Civilization, which is light years ahead of the Muslim/Arab world. Christians were slaughtering people for being “infidels” centuries ago, just as Muslims are now.

I don’t think that’s it at all. Christians generally do not commit mass murder because they have been taught (correctly) that it is wrong. Muslims are taught killing the infidel is good - at least in some situations and in most situations by the supposed ‘radical’ Muslims. I think Islam itself is radical, but that’s another post.

No. That is just one way in Islam.
Islam is a very worldly religion. Muslims have a lot in common with the Jewish Zealots who wanted a messiah who would make Israel a great power.
