There is more to it with the extreme Christian movement which sees this as a war against Islam, where I am sure that there is an extreme Islamic group that sees fighting about waging war against invading Christians. If it were only so simple, but it is all too wrong.

The more times a false claim is repeated, the more likely people are to be exposed to it. The fewer people exposed to a false claim, the less likely it is to spread. It is also important not to repeat false claims because people are more likely to judge familiar claims as true. As false claims are repeated, they become more familiar and thus may come to seem more true to people.
