I mean same consequences for going against religion. Much, much death & Islam not doing anything Xtianity hasn't done.

Genital mutilation. There's been a little of that in Christianity but mostly not. That's one thing Islam doing differently.

Islam not peaceful at beginning, tho it was welcomed as social improvement for many poor & enslaved non-Muslims at the time.
