Although I'm not convinced by it, the article is thought-provoking. I don't understand why Christianity is pitted against Islam to make it seem superior, however. The article mentions the rape of captive women by Muhammad, but fails to mention the same thing is described and encouraged at times in the Bible as well. The same thing with slavery. The Bible also mentions "external precautionary safeguards" that women must adhere to. I would also say that "blind devotion" to "literal mandates" could describe one who believes in any religion or belief. That seems to be up to the individual. Wouldn't the crusaders be described as "callous to human suffering" also ?
