 Bat Yeor on Dhimmitude on National Review Online
Christianity is a falsified expression of Islam, and belongs to Islam.
From this viewpoint the bond between Judaism and Christianity is a falsification, because the filiation of Christianity is Islamic, not Judaic.
Exegetes interpret the destruction of symbols attached to Christianity — the cross and the pig — as the extinction of that religion; the suppression of the jizya means that Islam has become the only religion; and the abundance of wealth refers to the booty taken from infidels.

 The Cyber Reviews
The main difference between extreme Islam and extreme Christianity is that while radical parties of both religions grossly distort their own teachings, at least the historical excesses of Christianity (such as wars, crusades, inquisitions) are blatantly in direct violation of Christ’s teaching, which centers on the commandment of love in Matthew 23:37-40.
Islam is growing in the west, and perhaps part of that is the utter and woeful lack of theological understanding that most people have: to someone who did not understand the doctrine of grace, I suppose Islam would look like a valid alternative to Christianity.
The difficulty of Islam is that Americans and the western world see it as the religion of extremists, who perform unconscionable acts (such as suicide bombings) in the name of their religion.

 theology_numen
The standard used by both Islam and Christianity to judge a person, their deeds, and other concepts and ideas, is based upon what is or is believed to a revelation from a supreme being, whereas for The Numinous Way such judgement depends upon the ethics of honour, and honour alone.
This concept of the folk and its continued evolution, is irrelevant to Islam, which views the individual in relation to such things as Taqwa and Imaan (Taqwa: fear of Allah, resulting in devotion to Allah and His truth as revealed in Quran and Sunnah; Imaan: total trust and faith in Allah).
This Being is not the same as the God of Christianity, nor the Allah of Islam.

More comparable, in some respects, is the protracted, contemporaneous Christianization and Hispanization in Iberia, where the taqiyyah (dissimulation of belief) of the Moriscos forcibly converted to Christianity finds a parallel in the crypto-Christianity practised by some Anatolian Greek converts to Islam who came to regret their apostasy.
(5) The cultural transformation of the Christians was consummated by their conversion to Islam under the aegis of Islamic institutions — notably the 'latitudinarian' dervish orders, such as the Bektashis and Mawlawis — which were materially based on the expropriated possessions of the church.

 Book Review : Militant Islam Reaches America
Mainstream Islam is even less likely than Christianity to regard itself as “a personal faith.” The Koran seems to contemplate a theocratic state, not a church that is separate from the institutions of the state, as is ideally the case in Christianity.
