I also think the fact that the Christian community generally puts up with just about any offensive speech directed its way without rioting (there may be exceptions but none are coming to mind) is evidence that they don’t share a common goal with Islam in regard to the imposition of retrictions on speech.

In the Netherlands the growing Muslim community that is offended at everything serves more like a wake up call for the more fundamentalist Christians that like to follow their example. Not by violence but by pushing the offending is a crime thing to the limit.
