Stay away from the brown acid, the brown acid ...
Dean Esmay has gone totally insane and his methods are unsound:

Here's what I wanted to say:
LOL! Stay away from the brown acid, Dean.
I'm kidding of course. I love Dean. He's a great guy. But he loves this equivalency thing, forgetting that the difference between Christianity and Islam is Christianity is true while Islam is false.
UPDATE II: Chris says it better in the comments.
I call bullshit on you people. Bullshit, and chickenshit.
Here I've given you links to a practicing muslim who is both a koranic scholar and a blogger. A blogger who has comments. A muslim scholar who directly addresses the many Koranic verses that (mostly Christian) critics of Islam like to pull out of context as "proof" of how violent intolerant Islam is, and explains how they're being taken out of context.
And instead of discussing the matter with him, you choose to argue with me?
BWOK BWOOOK BWOK BWOK! Chickens*** Christians, afraid to talk to debate any actual muslims! BWOK BWOK BWOK BWOK BWOK!

What I find funny about the whole thing is that moderate muslims trying to convince christians that 'jihad' means 'inner struggle' are wasting their time. We don't believe that Muhamed is God's final prophet, so it's not terribly relevant to us whether he suggested we struggle against our tendency to disobey God or whether we struggle against the infidel.
The people that moderate muslims should be trying to convince are the people who believe that 'jihad' means blowing up Americans. They at least have some common ground.
Beyond the little matter of which religion offers intense and repeated scriptural backing for conversion by the sword and the oppression of the infidel, there's the matter of how their least-well-behaved adherents routinely act. If there have been any mass murders committed in the name of Christianity lately, I've managed to miss the reportage.
There is no question that most Muslims are harmless. Their creed is not. The ones we have to worry about are precisely those who take their creed seriously in whole and in part -- which is why I will continue to condemn Islam, and have made it a policy to distrust anyone who calls himself a Muslim. You can't know which sort of Muslim you're dealing with until he presses the detonator button.
