This is a commonly made argument, but it's silly. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were declared by the secular government of a secular state for geopolitical reasons. Most of the individuals are Christian, but the war and tactics have nothing whatsoever to do with Christian doctrine or motivations. The "Muslim militants" under discussion launch attacks for specifically Muslim motives, with carefully constructed justifications cross-referenced to precise verses from the Koran and Hadiths.
