I'd argue they'd be exactly the same. Put those people in the same situation and extremism will arise just the same as now.

It depends if all the same events happened in this mirror. Islamic culture reached an incredibly high point, which was cut off by the Mongols, the Crusades and the Reconquista. It seemed to have never recovered. Would the exact same series of events have unfolded if the global positions of the religions were reversed? I think the sure bet is that the Mongols would have, and the other two are debatable.
