Extremist Islam, extremist Christianity

and this would differ from the indoctrination of extremist, fundamentalist christians how, precisely...?

Abdullah Thabit ... is the author of "The 20th Terrorist," which recounts his years as a religious extremist.

[...]

Thabit recounts in detail the cultlike atmosphere of the extremist group he belonged to, and how it instilled loyalty to the group, and hatred and mistrust of the enemy.

"We were taught that our Islam was correct and everyone else, including our families, was going to hell, a hell that resembled a slaughterhouse. And I wanted to be one of the select few who made it into heaven," he says.

[...]

"They use two primal instincts to keep you in their grip, fear and desire." Desire for heaven, fair maidens and the dream of setting up an Islamic caliphate. And fear of God's displeasure, hellfire and torture.

the parallels are clear and equally horrifying...
