I agree but....

I totally agree with you. It came to my mind and the first topic on this subject I found was yours. But what's interesting, member of Christianity and Judaism outlived those wild undertakings long ago. Now the question is is it really a matter of religion or lack of cognitive or behavioral modernity of those who interpret the text which can be result of many things such as biological inefficiency. This is not to say Muslim are inferior, I have many super duper mega intelligent Muslim friends, but maybe big majority of them misinterpret the Quran. I think Quran is equally full with good intentions. Imagine if someone reading Romeo and Juliet only comprehends that part when they kill themselves in the name of love.I think genetic modernity of human race is not normally distributed. We have long way to go but not enough time.
