So-called moderate Muslims justify the propensity for violence by extremist groups acting under the banner of Islam, by claiming that the far greater tolerance and willingness to forgive by Christians and Jews shows their lack of love for their God. I find this totally absurd!
Actually in the past 1,000 years, the most violent nations were actually the Christian nations. Crusades, wars between European nation-states and internecine wars apart, it was successive waves of violent conquests and pillage by the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, French, German and Brits that brought practically the entire world under European rule. Thus establishing white privilege in today's world, when the white man forms only 10% of the world's population.
And in the 20th century:

“We must never forget who the real threat to the world is.”
As for terrorism (now associated with various Islamic entities), never forget that the birth of modern terrorism started with Zionism in the early 20th century, not the Arabs. And Israel is still the pillar of state terrorism and genocide in the 21st century. Don't expect too much from the folks who killed Jesus.
