Muslims are currently fighting Jews in Israel/Palestine/Iran.
Muslims are currently fighting Hindus in India.
Muslims are currently fighting atheists in China.
Muslims are currently fight Buddhists in Burma.
Muslims also have issues with Christians (9/11, US/Iraq war, etc).
I'm not trying to start a flame war here, I'm just curious.
Christians have also fought a few other of the major religions, but I don't remember a hindu and christian fight or a christian and buddhist fight. Plus it seems like they took one "enemy" at a time.

Honestly yes, Christianity pre-enlightenment saw its' fair share of squabbles around the world; From bloody internal battles between Catholics and Protestants, to conflicts with natives in the Americas where many of them were forcibly converted, to the colonization of Africa where many them were also forcibly converted, to the crusades where knights and soldiers were promised salvation by the church for killing and dying on the battlefield.
Judaism was also at constant war with MANY other nations over religion and resources, and many of these battles can be found in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible.
Abrahamic Religions all follow the tradition of the sword.
Christianity and Islam are exclusivist and universal. The cornerstone of their philosophies are that they are the 'ONE TRUE RELIGION FOR EVERYONE ON EARTH', and that is why they will never have peace until every last human being is with them.
Currently Islam is making the most noise since Christianity gave up the ghost back in the 20th century.
I remember bad religious squabbles in Northern Ireland until about 15 years ago and occasionally still happening now. They still have segregated bus stops for Catholics and Protestants to this day.
