I hear ya. Many christians seem to be just as intent on "saving" everybody by "showing them the light" (i.e. converting everybody) through scare tactics and violence as these militant muslim groups are. It isn't hard, from a christian viewpoint, to justify the use of violence for conversion. You think, well, if nobody in this population accepts Jesus, they will all go to hell. But if I use force to convert them to Jesus, some will go to hell if they die before repenting but many will be spared eternal damnation. Christianity was one of the main motives behind some of the worst acts of violence in history: the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, the conquest/genocide of the Native Americans, African colonization, and countless European wars just to name a few. Christian missionaries have destroyed traditional cultures wherever they go, forcing them to reject aspects of their lives as "sinful" and embrace christian culture instead.

Their goal is clear: get every man, woman and child on earth to believe in Jesus, so as to maximize the number of people getting into heaven, even if it means destroying cultures and using violence. For them, the ends justify the means. We can already see it happening here in America on a large scale. Christian political groups are trying to get the United States officially recognized as a "judeo-christian country" and force everybody to act in accordance with "judeo-christian values", regardless of their beliefs. It's no secret, they are openly admitting to this! "Love it or leave it", they say, as if there were some free society we could go to where people don't try to impose their beliefs on others. Christians make the government accept their church's views on homosexual marriage, polygamy, prostitution, drug use, pornography, and other stuff that shouldn't be anybody's business except the people involved, thus forcing everybody to live according to their religious convictions through violence (via the police)! Many of these groups even openly deny the existence of the separation of church and state (and deny that one would even be desirable if the wording of the Constitution doesn't already provide us with one). There could only be one reason for such a denial: allow christianity to use the power of the state for its own goals. The church and state harm society enough separately; it will be complete disaster when they fuse.
