No, people think its worse because the rhetoric is worse in many ways, sure Christianity has bad parts too I don't think anyone is denying that but it didn't teach to forcibly convert or murder using the ''lost man'' terminology as justification.
I personally think religion in general is the biggest mental plague on the earth but I don't think Christianity is just as bad as Islam when followed to the core.
Jesus = prophet who helped the poor
Mohammed = warlord of took slaves and raped a 9 year old
The crusades is often used as a counter argument but the reason for that was for The Byzantines to retake control of Jerusalem after The Byzantines Emperor asked for European Christians to assist in war against the Turks.
Pope Urban the second was the orchestra-tor in 1095.
So that is a good example of how they're both bad and good , if just depends on what side you're on but if religion didn't exist then there wouldn't be one side to oppose the other resulting in thousands on deaths.
