Interesting article, but it doesn't show the difference between
Christian and Islamic fundamentalists. Arranged and forced marriages
as well as discrimination against women are cultural phenomenon rather
than religious. If you look at history of Christian countries you may
find that similar practices were common in Europe too. Islam is
approx. 500 years younger than Christianity.
