Most of these arguments on the effect of different religions tend to be a bit silly. Islam is much more related to Christianity and Judaism than either of those two are to each other.

Language, cultural history, and geography tend to play a bigger role on society than the monotheistic religions do.

As neither a Muslim nor a Christian, but have lived among both, the dismissive argument "A is more similar to B than C" should not mean "I don't need to be concerned about A or B or C".

Nowhere in the passage is it saying that. Merely that A, B, and C are the same and their difference play less of role in society than we think.

Radical Christians are no different from radical Muslims who are no different than radical Jews.
