My belief isn't based on Christian beliefs, therefore I believe there's more truth to my belief than Christianity's beliefs now.
Nothing can be done about it. Who are you to tell someone that they can't believe in ONE God which is Allah and reject Jesus as being God himself?

You didn't read - there's nothing implicitly wrong with any of the religions you've mentioned, and Rudey was not decrying Islam as an entity. You can believe in Allah or YHWH or Apollo, and no one is telling you not to (especially Rudey, who is not Christian).
However, this entire thread is dedicated to outlining the spread of RADICAL Islam, meaning groups that promote and actively seek out opportunities for violence and subjugation outside of the boundaries set forth by their religion.
There is most certainly something wrong with senseless violence and all that comes with it.

P.S. can we show the same disgust for Radical Christianity?

It's not my place to tell you what you can and cannot do, but I would suggest that you show comensurate disgust for all sorts of radicial religious zealotry. By this, I mean that you should not hold murderers in the same regard as people who are merely annoying, but should rather temper your disgust to match the actions of any group. In both senses, however, it is clear these groups are perverting the religions they claim to represent, so your distaste is clearly warranted - however, to say that we should show the 'same disgust' for every radical religious group across the board seems somewhat short-sighted if not tempered for the actions of that group.
Short answer: yes, but with some reservations for temporal differences and significant differences in degree.
