The current mutual bad feeling between them is due to the Israeli-Palestinian and dates from the 1940s. Before we get along. In fact, Muslims and Ottoman Turks treated the Jews much better than European Christians did. In the Koran the Prophet of Islam does not conflict with Jews, but Jews was in some places, and he is not against Jews in general.   As for the type of Christianity that you describe, I agree, it does exist (perhaps still does) and it was a bad thing. But again, look at the history of those Christians who were not on empire building. They got along with everyone. The problem arises when the church and state will unite and religion is corrupted by politics. Politicians use religion for their own purposes and do things to make him popular, and corrupt. The religious state then uses his power to force religion on people and damaged the wars of religion for political reasons.   Take a lesson from this: God and political power do not mix well. God is a king, but not like the kings of the earth, and dictators. God's ways are not man's ways. Political states and empires use of force and fear to the rule, God wants us to obey him, from a sincere heart, not by fear or under threat or duress.
