Yes, I would, because they'd be protesting about something they didn't understand.
I do not believe that your average western christian can understand such fanatical devotion to someone long dead. The christian church gave up on that hundreds of years ago.
Similarly, the church 'leaders' in the christian church are no longer in the positions of power they once were - again, something that changed hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, a protest by those churches in support of Muslims is inappropriate. I know they mean well, because they want to show solidarity, but marching against free speech isn't the way to go.

Maybe because christianity transcends any notion of race?

I reckon it's religion that has caused more conflict than any other cause. Just look around you...

And some people here are not British at all, yet they live and work here as if they were. You'd never notice they weren't British, they'll even cheer for England in the World Cup (OK, maybe not when their birth nation is on the pitch.)
