It seems like there are many similarities, whether it's attitude towards gays, premarital sex, women's rights, honor killings, punishment for crimes, use of alcohol/drugs, holy wars, solution to middle east crisis.
Do you see similarities?
Give me one example of a Christian honor killing in the past 200 years.
Sure there are similarities, since both Islam & Christianity derived from Judaism. But there is a huge difference, which is that Islam always embraced coercion and in fact often practiced conversion at the point of sword. Whereas Christianity generally embraced volition and voluntary conversion. This is just historical fact.
Islam's penchant for coercion upon the individual actually has much more in common with 21st century liberalism than with Christianity.
Please cite some recent examples of the Christian right committing atrocities.
I do think you need to define your term. Just who are you talking about? If it's who I think it is, they don't have much political power.
Here are the ones who's religion most closely aligns with Muslim Fundamentalists. Those like this guy want to take us back to at least the 19th century and punish those who they see as speaking blasphemy.

Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ESV / 15 helpful votes
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Our constitution constrains them from doing what they REALLY want to do.
If the Christian right really had their way completely unfettered, they'd be one hell of a rival to Sharia.
