Pointing out that fundamentalists belonging to any of the Abrahamic religions have far more in common with each other than with other members of their own religion is not "pushing Americans to embrace Islam." 

If it were up to me, we'd all advance passed iron age mythology, but lacking that, I at least understand that all three of the Abrahamic religions include some very foul teachings, as well as very peaceful and caring teachings. The fundamentalists go for the foul stuff; misogyny, intolerance of other faiths, anti-LGBTQ teachings, etc. While the more enlightened go for the peaceful love thy neighbor teachings. I appreciate the latter, whether they be Jewish, Christian, or Muslim. 

Attacking all of Islam is something fundamentalists do, and those who do the attaching have more in common with the Islamic fundamentalists than they do with the enlightened of their own faith.
