If you or anyone else in history can cite book chapter and verse that has God commanding the whole sale slaughter of non believers in the CHRISTIAN religion, as the god of islam requires then you may have a valid argument. Otherwise know just because someone claims to do something for God does not mean God or the Bible wants/requires it.
That would be no different than someone claiming to be an employee of Mars candy, telling people he has been authorized to have people product test a new poop based candy bar. Just because someone claims to do something in the name of a larger entity, does not mean that entity has sanctioned that action. If people eat this poop bar it is not the fault of Mars candy.
Right on cue with the weasel-dicked excuse I predicted, set up by your narrow definition. Because the words 'kill in the name of Christianity' aren't specifically written in The Bible doesn't mean that killing hasn't happened in the name of Christ. To think otherwise is idiotic. Whipping out a True Scotsman defense also doesn't change the fact that Christians have committed atrocities in Christ's name. Disagreeing with them doesn't make them any less Christian. The fact that there continues to be differences among adherents and that the religion itself was not a deterrent to ardent believers simply means that it is impractical and a failed moral system. Despicable.
