Well let's consider how non-Muslims are currently treated in majority Muslim countries legally compared to how non-Christians are treated majority Christian countries? There's a HUGE difference. Esp. if they are not a "people of the book", in which case they may not have a lot of rights. But make no mistake, Christianity is a religion of blood. Pretty typical for god worshippers really. I'm not aware of predominantly Christian nations taxing people of other religions because they are not Christian. Can you give an example? In what ways is American or European jurisprudence based on specifically Christian writings, other than universal, Noachide type laws? What is the Christian counterpart to Sharia that you are referring to?
