Crusaders and Jihadists: 2 faces of the same coin

[ReptilianPeon]

I think a much better framing is: (many/some) Christians and (many of) the followers of Muhammad have a lot in common, more than they'd like to acknowledge. Both religions have used religion as a justification for war. Can their deities not speak for themselves? Surely this "Allah" character can do a much better job of destroying civilizations than a rag-tag bunch of Jihadists, if that is what is needed? I am sure the deities could do a fine job of speaking for themselves, yet the silence is not taken as a hint for many.
