I think this means that Christianity is "tamed" by the doubts science has laid on it. And that science does not seem to reign Islam much.
Muslims embraced science before Christians ever thought about it and Al-Andalus rule in Iberia and the scientific development overseen by Muslims there is a great testament to my viewpoint. Furthermore, Islam had a reformation movement albeit unsuccessful hundreds of years [0] before Christendom is engulfed in reformation debates (wars).
Yes but as the Christian world was coming out of the dark ages the Islamic world went into one and has yet to emerge from it.
Funny that this is coming from a reactionary and status quo aficionado.
- "Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."
Funny again that this is coming from a colonialist and imperialistic person. Apparently, it's bad for Islam to have expansionist and supremacist ambitions but it's OK for Britain. Hypocrisy much?
- "Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled"
Funny that it was the other way around for Christianity and Islam in Europe's Dark Age and Islam's Golden Age [0]
