I sort of agree with you AM. I beleive that modern, far-right fundalmentalists practice these two religions in much the same way. On the other side of the coin, however, I beleive that the true teachings and intentions of these two religions share many similiarities, and are actually parallel.

Here's a couple interesting links, they are definately opinions. The second link I thought was interesting, not because of the similarities about their beleifs, but how the muslims would almost rather reach out to christians because of their similarities (and that they beleive it is backed by scripture) and not segregate because of differences.
