Thankfully most Christians take their Bible far less seriously than many Muslims.

If you lived in mid-West USA or Indonesia, you may have to re-evaluate that statement - Indonesian Muslims have a much more laissez-faire attitude than Middle-Eastern or Pakistan/Afghan Muslims, and Bible-belt Christians in the USA (and in parts of Africa) have a much more hard-line viewpoint than those from elsewhere.
Point I am trying to make is, that "one-size" doesn't fit all, and if we insist on removing gray areas, we are doing ISIL's job for them, by putting forward the viewpoint "if you're not with us completely and in agreement with everything we say, you must be against us".
That way lies further confrontation and escalation.
