> In fact, many Christians and Jews were murdered or enslaved at his command because they refused to follow him.
That is false. The prophet Muhammad never killed Jews or Christians for not following Islam. The Jews he fought with and killed were due to political reasons. In most cases, treachery. One group he had a treaty with tried to assassinate him, for example.
This is a common islamaphobic trope.

There are Muslims who distinguish the role of each, just as there are Christians who do. > In the west, there is this distinction Not largely from within institutional Christianity, where both theocracy (wherein government is viewed as subordinated to religious institutions, rather than the two being separate) and caesaropapism (wherein religious institutions are subordinated to government rather than the two being separate) have been common institutional power and legitimate government power is frequently portrayed as having a divine religious origin.
