I see it as two rival factions, nothing more. Both are brutal and commit unspeakable acts, and both have some legitimate grievances as well as a lot of bullshit they need to let go.
Typical relativism is not applicable in the case of Islamofascism, for many reasons.

For instance, if a child is killed by U.S. military, it's usually an accident and those responsible consider it a tragedy. If it is suspected to be a deliberate act, the suspects will be court marshalled and tried. The Islamic terrorists not only kill anybody they want, they actually recruit and use children to perform jihad - which is about the most cowardly act an adult can commit for a cause.

Kidnapping innocent people, and beheading them, is another favorite of their's.

The belief system of Islam is insane, and as dangerous, sick and degenerate Christianity is, it's not nearly as deadly and backwards in this day and age as Islam.
