"The worst genocides known by humanity were commited by Christians against Jews and native locals.."

Sure. The modern-day Kurds in Turkey & Iraq, as well as the Christians in Darfur will be the first to sympathise with you. Not to forget a chap called Idi Amin.

"Muslims are in their 14th century. Christians are in their 20th. Iran for instance and Pakistan already are nuclear states. Can you imagine these two states in their 20th century! "

- They'd probably be even further behind 600 years from now given the fact that they rely upon upon second-hand technology that their Christian counterparts invented, then threw away, fifty years ago. Without the oil revenues that given these countries the illusion of civilisation they will more likely, than not, be living in caves and hunting with crude implements fashioned by tying a stone to a stick. Name one innovation in Science in the Islamic world in the past 400 years. Other than novel uses for explosives or killing children. The innovation that I can personally credit to the Muslim world is their obsession with Time Travel. None of them will be happy until they've dragged everybody back to the SEVENTH century!
