The most notorious Christian extremists, Westboro Baptist Church, just whine about homosexuality, while Muslim extremists have killed thousands.

I think that's because most people in the west don't really care about religion any more, if this had taken place 1000 years ago we'd be having this conversation over a dead Muslim somewhere in Jerusalem, but we moved on, advanced socially and technologically, and expected the rest of the world to catch up to us, some did, some didn't.
I'd wager that in another 1000 years, religion will be completely different to how it's practiced now, heck, it might even be banned under an atheist government, who can say? But Christanity has just as much blood on its hands as Islam, and most of the other religions, because at the end of the day the religion is just an excuse used by people to kill other people, and there's no shortage of other reasons to use if you don't want to use religion.
