Sam Harris, says the same thing because while Jesus taught peace, Mohamed was a military leader and a statesmen,  who took slaves, multiple wives (some were children) beheaded people, etc. So Muslims countries have better justifications for merging church and state and to spread their religion. Judaism for example makes it very hard to join and that's why there is relatively so few Jews in the world. 

I thought this was an interesting distinction between these major religions of the world that might indeed help explain some of the actions of the followers.

Actually while Christianity and the New Testament and especially the OT encourage slavery, Islam is the first religion that abandons it.

Slavery was a very common barbaric practice and the Quran clearly abolished it and says its an entry to heaven to free your slaves. Being a military leader and killing people was not because Mohammed was a bloodthirst person, but because the first Muslims got heavily and barbarically persecuted by the pagans who worshipped statues as God and refused the concept of God as the eternal, and infinite oneness of existence.

They saw the practices of their forefathers in danger which brought them heavy financial benefits through selling Idolatry like statues and pictures. 

It was a time where people were utmost barbarics, killed each other for tribal dominance, blinded each other  taking their eyes out and enslaved their enemies.

Mohammed had no other option than to lead wars not because of fun but because of desperate persecution. You can not deal with those types of people by cuddling them. It would be better to study Islam and its historic context rather than cherrypicking certain verses without knowing their context

Can you explain how Mohammed married a 6 year old and had sex with her at 9 and how that is used to justify child marriage to this day?

Muslim countries abolished slavery much more recently than Christian countries. 

Early Christians were also prosecuted and lived in barbaric times. Mohamed could have practiced non-resistance like Jesus and Ghandi and just accepted death/martyrdom like what Jesus did.

It’s so funny that Christians and Muslims argue about whose storybook is better,

“MY FAIRY TALE IS BETTER. NO, MY FAIRY TALE IS BETTER!!!”

I kindly ask you both to go to hell

There's a fundamental difference between Muslims and westerners in how religion is treated as an institution. That difference is a big part of the xenophobia towards Muslims, and something that should have been taking into consideration when enacting all them migration policies.

Quote

Maria Malmer Stenergard, Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs, announced before parliamentary representatives that the government will no longer use the term "Islamophobia." She described the concept as "problematic," because, according to her, "it focuses on individuals' irrational fears."

Stenergard emphasized that the Swedish government will also seek to replace the term with "anti-Muslim racism" or "anti-Muslim hatred" in international bodies, including the European Union and the United Nations. Discussions on this matter are set to continue during the third week of May in Brussels.

The decision has been welcomed by the right-wing Sweden Democrats party. Charlie Weimers, a member of the European Parliament for the party, said, "Islamists have exploited the term Islamophobia to advance their agenda and secure EU funding." He described the government's action as "finally scrapping a fabricated concept."

Faw Azzat, Secretary General of the Global Alliance for Peace and Justice (GAPF) in Sweden, also praised the decision, stating that the term Islamophobia was "coined by Islamists themselves to equate criticism of a religion with racism against people—a semantic trick dressed up as anti-racism."
