I think the only real differences are:
Percentage of the population: nearly all the population of "Muslim" countries are Muslim. America is more of a melting pot, still, with a greater variety of religions
Separation of church and state: in Muslim countries, the authorities are nearly all Muslim. The church leaders also make the laws.
This creates a more insular group, and a more "group-think" mindset, where it's easier to truly believe that god wants HIS PEOPLE to go conquer the world.
Put evangelicals in political power in America (and make sure that everybody can keep their guns) and you would have very little difference. Non-believers would be put to death with Christians posting trophy pictures in the newspapers - - - not unlike the South in the 1920's and 1930's - - when it was open season on African Americans. Oh yes, it could happen, just put the Kim Davis's in the clerks offices and Ted Cruz as President (with Ben Carson as VP?) and sit back and watch.
