The real issue is what are the "positions", the objects of pursuit for each religions "true believer." For a Christian it is "...love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order than you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:44,45). For a Muslim it is "...slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each [an] ambush." (Qur'an 9:5)
