Well I will at least agree that Islam is much more violent and discriminatory.
I agree in practice that people by nature are violent and abusive and they will latch onto anything to further there necessity to create seperation and hurt others.
If you make any group of people latch onto an idea whole-heartedly enough (and that belief doesn't encorporate thinking for yourself), you can basically make them do whatever you want. I remember when I was reading psychology, I read about a Behavioral Psychologist who said, give me a child and I can make them into anything I want. <shudder>
Look at the Germans in WWII. People who believe in something that doesn't encorporate free thought (logic), are like sheep.
Christianity, by its belief alone, (not by the way evil power hungry people twisted it) is a peaceful and free thinking (logical) religion.
