They do not believe outside of what they have been taught and they are both willing to do ANTHING that their religon asks. Being fanatical is a personality trait and I belive that if those fanatical christians were born in afganistan they would be fanatical muslims and be first in life to suscide bomb. The same how I belive if a fanatical muslim was born in america he would be a fanatical christians and be standing on the street corners telling everyone they are going to hell. Anyone agree?

It is unfair to stereotype Christians and Muslims are prejudiced, angry and hateful. Suicide bombings occur because of political and cultural beliefs that encourage hatred towards Israelis and Jewish people in general. It is political assassination. It is also about terrorism and the exploitation of young, troubled, subservient women who are misled into doing these things out of hatred of the 'other' and love of their country. Blind patriotism is dangerous.
We don't want to deal with hate because of the past but Turks will not even admit to the Armenian Massacres, hence avoiding responsibility and accountability. It wasn't about Islam. It was about prejudice, revolution, retribution, nationalism and other issues. It was about the systematic application of prejudice and exploitation against a group of people viewed as second-class citizens who were turned into a target group, like Jews, Gypsies and Eastern Europeans during WWII. That wasn't about religion, either.
Some people have a problem with the fact that Jews work hard, value education, save up money, push ahead and become successful..then they invest their money into different ventures. They are good at business. It has to do with cultural values. Some cultures are better than others. I don't mean people but in terms of what they stand for in general. I do not hate anyone or discriminate. Some people hate the Japanese or the Chinese, etc. I have had some real issues with Thai culture but like the people. I also love the French but do feel that there is a lot of racism in their society.

Why u compare christian fundamentalists with islamic fundamentalists?? Have u ever seen or heard about a christians fundamentalists beheading infidels or burning ambasies in the name of Jesus ?? Have u ever heard abt christians jihad ( holly war ) in the name of Jesus ?? Have u ever seen of heard abt violent demonstrations of "offended christians",in the name of Jesus ?? Does any "offended fundamentalist christians " put a price on the head of the director of Da Vinci code ,for example,in the name of Jesus ?? Do u know what have been happened in islamic world if someone dared to make such a movie abt Mohamed ??
The director would have been dead by now ( as it is Theo van Gogh) or hiding in fear for his life like the cartoonists or like Salman Rushdie..
Does christians fundamentalists are doing "honour killings" in the name of Jesus??
U seem to have feiled what is the fundament of christian religion and what is the fundament of islam religion . While the fundament of christians religion is based on love, forgivenes and tolerance ,the fundament off islamic religion is based on war against infidels ,against those who insult islam.
Try to study more abt these 2 religions before u make such a ridiculous comparising between them.

I agree somewhat but I think it has to do with country as much as religion and there is really no simple answer. many of those muslems think us the aggressor in the world since we came into their country and their actions, although I don't condone them, may well be what we would do should another country came into the U.S. and tried to tell us how to rule here.
There are extremists of every religion but they take words that are meant to inform and use them for their own battle cry so that often they are not true to their own religion, let alone respect the views of others.

I agree that a fundamentalist is a fundamentalist, regardless of which religion they belong to, and that environment affects the religion that people belong to.
However, your statement is too much of a sweeping generalisation to be taken seriously.
