This isn't weighted correctly, you'd need a certain sect of Islam to make this work...or call this "Christianity v. Islam"
It doesn’t even really work in that formulation. ‘Evangelicalism’ isn’t a distinct sect or denomination within Christianity, it’s a broad and loose movement that can be found in most Christian denominations. You get evangelical Methodists (indeed, the earliest evangelicals as we would understand them were Methodists), evangelical Baptists, evangelical Quakers, evangelical Anglicans - even evangelical Catholics. In terms of its nature, as opposed to Wahhabism (as others have raised in this thread, which is a distinct subset of Sunni Islam heavily bound up with the House of Saud), it has more in common with Islamic Sufism, not in the sense that both are direct analogues of the other, but rather in that they are broad cross denominational movements.
‘Evangelical’ has multiple uses
The oldest technically relating to the organization of Protestant churches in the HRE, but in practice ended up with ‘Evangelical’ meaning Lutheran as compared to ‘Reformed’ Calvinists.
The other being a subset of, ironically, Calvinism designed to meet the sociopolitical preferences of the American antebellum south, which naturally also lead to sharp distinction between white and black churches.
The last, where you get people calling themselves ‘Evangelical [Decidedly Different Religious Tradition]’ is a political movement attempting to recruit into other branches of Christianity into right-wing fundamentalist movements led by the second group.
