While different religions have different ways of seeing, fundamentalists who are extremists have extremism in common.
The vast majority of Muslims are not violent, but like Northern Ireland of not so distant memory, some of them are having an internecine feud which has come to involve the West. Pakistan has its problems, but once you're clear of the hill clans, the vast majority want peace. Indian Muslims don't do more violence than their Hindu counterparts. Malaysia and Indonesia have active anti-extremist policies in place. If you can demonize the whole of Islam because of civil war across the middle east, you can demonize the whole of Christianity because of Northern Ireland. And nothing in Syria can match the sickening murderous campaigns of the Thirty Years War.
I'm not sure we're very far apart here, but I don't like fundamentalists of any hue. I used to think Buddhists were peaceful folk till I became aware of the violence and bloodymindedness of their rightwing elements in southern Thailand and especially in Sri Lanka.
