They are both equally pieces of shit religions.
When 2.71 = 5.34, I'll agree with you.
Number of battles ordered: Mo 65, Jesus 0.
Number of battles fought: Mo 27, Jesus 0.
Number of poets killed: Mo 10, Jesus 0.
Number of assassinations ordered/supported: Mo 45, Jesus 0.
Maximum number of Jews beheaded on one day: Mo 600-900, Jesus 0.
Islam and Christianity are only "equally shitty" if you're using animal farm logic.
When the Christians throw away the Old Testament and its God, then you will be free to ignore all of the murder and rape ordered by the God character in it. Until then, you are giving a bullshit response.
(Of course, you will also have to throw out the New Testament, too, as it refers back to the Old Testament.)
Additionally, you are ignoring the fact that Jesus repeatedly takes great delight in imagining his enemies burning in hell FOREVER. So Jesus is delighted by infinite cruelty and violence.
