Wow, I'm glad he's not SecDef.

I'd expect Islam isn't the only thing
on his list.

No doubt, his understanding of Christianity is probably as comprehensive.. Any case, here is another perspective..

Right-wing myths
about Islam

The capacity for co-existence between Muslim, Christian and Jew is greatly underestimated - it is a tradition that has lasted a millenia. Award winning author William Dalrymple puts his own perspective on the Levant

Dale,

One of the things about living overseas - 6 years in the UK, plus regular travel to Angola, Azerbaijan, China, Vietnam, and the Middle East in my case - is the radically different perspective that you gain. After spending my first 36 years in the US, I "knew" that all Russians were uncivilized, vodka-swilling pigs. I "knew" that Moslems wanted only the elimination of all of my Baptist friends. And, of course, I "knew" that all Orientals were plotting the demise of America.

It's hell when your preconceptions are shot full of holes.
