But this pretense that christianity is just as bad as islam because several hundred years ago some christians in pre-democratic societies waged religious wars is nutty.
The USA is currently waging a religious war on Muslims, so therefore USA is pre-democratic (the latter is true of course regardless of its Islamaphobia.
Okay, go ahead and name a single nation that is currently a christian theocracy, or a current christian-dominant nation that classifies women as second-class or non-citizens and denies women the right to exist in public without male supervision, or a current christian dominant nation that punishes homosexuals with death? How about a current christian-dominated country that executes anyone who leaves christianity?
Easy - the USA. Of course not as drastically as what you mention, but getting there, or it would be if massive resistance wasn't growing, that spikes the dominionists' plans.
On the other hand, Toni did actually say that modern day christianity is an equal threat to islam. Because Trump and Project 2025, apparently.
It is . Read this wikipedia article:

The problems in USA existed long before Project 2025, but it seeks to amplify them.
That doesn't mean that other religions are not problems, but islam is objectively a much bigger and more immediate problem than any of the others.
In the USA, Australia, NZ, and so on Islam is not a threat, but Christianity is, especially in USA.
In 2019, Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant in Christchurch, NZ, attacked a mosque and an Islamic Centre, killing 51 people. He was a right-wing Islamaphobe. Similar incidents against Christians have not occurred.
