I am one to support the theory that religon will hurt a progressive society because religion usees tradition and tradition hinders progress.
One big difference between Christianity and Islam is that mainstream Christains have progessed and Christianity as a whole has become more liberalized when Islam hasn't. Christianity is 700 years older than Islam and what were Christians doing 700 years ago? The Crusades?
Give Islam a couple decades to a century and they should liberaize just as Chrsitianity has.
