Min, I respect your opinion, but you're only answering to 2 fragments of what I said, and not even the whole sentence. 
Islam and Christianity are not equal. I don't think it'll do us any good to treat them like they are exactly the same and so to just sit back and assume Islam will stop fighting because Christianity did. They are different, with different fundamental teachings, different history, and different ideologies (New Testament vs the Koran). I think both faiths have had their own different problems, and both will need different things to solve it.
But I guess only time will tell how everything turns out. In the mean time, unfortunately, there isn't much you and I can do about it. I just hope Isis doesn't continue to grow. They are a particularly bad type of nasty.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
