You bring up an interesting point.

I believe that Islam is moving more and more in the direction of violence in order to achieve their goals. I do not believe this is the case with Christianity today. Today, "radical Chirstians" are those who would try to use the political process to achieve their goals. There are idiots like you Fred Phelps crowd, but I am not aware of daily violence (or even monthly violence) as a method of acquiring power.

Radical Islam most certainly does. And you don't find many Muslim leaders - whether Imams or whomever - condemning violence against Jews and Israel.
