If you want an argument how about this one: What we call Muslim extremists are in fact Muslim fundamentalists. They are simply obeying their Prophet's teaching and following the example he set. Yes The Catholic church many centuries ago did authorize Holy wars but, the simularity ends there. The Christian's holy book and its founder didn't call for Holy war and Jesus certainly didn't leave that example to be followed. Furthermore the excess of that particular church was short lived. The Muslim religion on the other hand has conducted Holy wars since their foundation. The only difference is today they are faced with a more advanced army and have chosen to lower themselves to terrorism even at the expense of Muslim lives.

Well done. Things go much better when we wrap the world up in a narrative that we want to believe in.
