This is an honest question for Lizards of the Christian faith. And since I’m an “Old Testament” guy, I truly am wondering about this.

Is there any sort of an Anti Christian element in the act of crucifixion when performed by muslims? Is this some attempt to make the criminal somehow appear less muslim and more Christian by hanging him on a cross?

No, not a bit of it, in inception, way back when Christians hadn’t become “the enemy.” That said, they did seem to employ it in Spain as a specifically anti-Christian means of terrorizing the largely Christian conquered populace.
