The problem isn't Islam. It's not Christianity. It's extremists who cloak themselves in one or the other to try to claim the moral high ground in their attempt to rid the world of The Other Flavor, because they never learned concepts like "tolerance" or "playing nice with others". Failing to realize that, and then taking action on that failure, just makes the situation worse, as it gives the intolerant of The Other Flavor more fuel for their reprisals. Ask yourself "Are They going to hate Us more if We do this?" - if the answer is "yes", you're probably making a mistake....
You seem to be living under the delusion that your actions can somehow influence the extremists. There's only two actions that will influence the extremists in any way and that is to kill or imprison them. Anything else you might try, like trying to make nice with them or negotiate with them, is a complete waste of time and merely hastens your own death or imprisonment.
