See, it's not just the religion, though all the Abrahamic branches have proven themselves savage, but also the geographical culture. The Muslims in this country have been more peaceable, tolerant and respectful of other's beilefs than most Christians I've met.

Not just. Many of the innovation people think of as European Rennaissance were in fact traced by to Arabia, included the technology now used to fill the tiolet bowl [I SHIT YOU NOT]. Your best cathidrals derive their designs from Islamic mosques, other public buildings and palaces. Islamic alchmestists lit the match for chemical science, their mathematicians introduced the "zero" and perfected urban sanitation.
