I've already said this elsewhere, but to me Islam, Christianity and Judaism are as good as the same religion. The only difference is Christianity has secularised and become more benign in recent years.
Sure, there are differences in the actual belief - Christianity has the Holy Trinity and Islam has the 5 pillars. But thinking about the actual "moral values" they promote, they all promote pretty much exactly the same messages;
- Love everyone (apart from the majority who are outside of your religion)
- Patriarchal, misogynistic society
- Spread the message to "non-believers"
- Heaven or Hell after death
The list could go on. It's exactly the same religion tweaked, yet people still go to war over it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
