What if other ideas were defended the same way?

RE: What if other ideas were defended the same way?
From the same Quadrant article you site:

"As I pointed out in “Moderate Muslims are the Problem, Not the Solution” (Quadrant, May 2013): “Christians don’t go around bombing people in the name of Christianity or envisioning a restored Christian empire, akin to a caliphate, in the Western world.” Without an immoderate and warlike comparison, the term “moderate” has no meaning. Christians don’t go around axiomatically describing themselves as moderate. It would be silly. Not so with Muslims."

Really?

I don't see any real difference in the 3 Abrahamic religions. They all have moderates, and fanatics who use the religion for whatever ends they desire, be it a Caliphate, or a "Christian Nation," or a Jewish state, or whatever. They all believe that they are right, and everyone else is wrong. Islam is no crazier than any other, or Pakistan would have nuked the fuck out of somebody by now.
