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.
Christianity is like a rabid dog that has been caged and muzzled. It's days of Inquisitions, Crusades and Witch Burnings are over (except for the witch hunts in Africa). The worst we have to contend with is Christianity trying to break free of it's restraints, a scarier possibility 10 years ago than today.
Islam is like the same rabid dog still running amok. Some might say, "look how much scarier the dog running free is" but that's not because the dog is any more or less rabid. It's only because the dog has not yet been caged and muzzled like the other one.
One day, we'll be able to put them both down with the euthenizing drug called "prove it".
