What are the ethical differences between Islam and Christianity?

In Judeo-Christianity, there is an 'intimacy' revealed by God to His Creation (see Deuteronomy 1:31; Isaiah 40:11; Jeremiah 3:14 to list a few). We are even told to call Him 'Father' (see Matthew 6:8, et al). This is not the case in Islam. The Judeo-Christian God is presented as a God of Love - as the initiator and for all mankind, even sinners. The Qur'an has numerous places that say God does not love the sinner (see Deuteronomy 7:7; and John 3:16 versus Sura 2:190 and Sura 3:57 as examples).
For Islam, God is unknowable (see Sura 40 as example) while in Judeo-Christianity, God reveals Himself in many ways to His Creation (see Jeremiah 9:23-24 and John 17:3 as examples). These are just some of the differences between the religions.
Perhaps some of the greatest ethical differences between the two is their respective treatment of women - from schooling through marriage. Two distinctively different worlds. Killing and murdering of those who will not convert to Islam is totally different from those who refuse to convert to Christianity by choice and free will - absent any payment tax or beheading. There are many more.
