The only differences I perceive are in the names of the deities and the identities of the scriptures to which each appeals.

That is from a surface knowledge of religion.

No, this is from a stance independent of the embrace of either of the faiths being discussed. Jihadis would argue that Christians do evil by merely rejecting Islam, and Muslims do good by following the Quranic call to jihad, by employing the selfsame arguments that you do, only from the perspective of embracing their religion instead of yours.
