Thank you Nitro for that, but it seems a rather too simple explanation for Muslim attitudes and beliefs today long after Muslims have had access to Western writings and thought, even though in parts of the Muslim world intellectual access to the world outside of Islam continues to be restricted. Nevertheless those Muslims that have had access to the Western intellect and thinking continue to reject it.
Considering that both modern Muslims and Christians -- and other faiths too -- retain beliefs completely at odds with our current understanding of the natural world thousands of years after the founding of these religions, the full explanation must lie elsewhere.

If Christians have had access to the same writings of their very own culture since the invention of the printing press [leading to not just a scientific revolution, but a general enlightenment almost the world over,] but even after that epic historical event, Christians still believe in an invisible man living in the clouds that is their father, what makes you think that Muslims religious viral disease of the mind, praying seven times a day on a rug facing east, would be any more progressive than Christians?
In other words, having access to the writing isn't enough. You also need the enlightenment part. And even that only penetrates a percent of the population towards progress. Witness how many votes Cruz got, and it is 2016!!! Read that again, it is 2016, not 1516.

I think the biggest difference between Christians and Muslims isn't that one is more extreme than the other. But no question about it, Muslims loathe themselves and their lives. How else does one explain their all too willingness to throw their lives away?
Of course, I am assuming normal human psychology, which, even though psychology is a soft science, it is a science nonetheless. But, as evidenced on ET repeatedly, the scientific method means nothing once religion invades the human mind. All reasoning centers of the human brain are turned off when religion is turned on. Might as well be a lizard.
^^^ Human beings on organized religion^^^

BTW, enlightenment is probably the ability of human networks to affect each other positively. Muslims have the network, but religion turns the network upside down. The Christian enlightenment was exactly about reducing the power of religion.

"in the 20th century alone, atheist regimes from the socialist left – such as Stalinist Russia, Mao’s China, the Cambodian and Vietnamese Communists and Yugoslavia – murdered more than 153 million people in 65 short years.."
"according to the “Encyclopedia of Wars” by Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod, published in 2004, there have been 1,763 wars in recorded human history, and only 123 of those, or 7 percent, involved religious conflict.
Interestingly, of those 123 “religious wars,” 66 of them, nearly 50 percent, involved Islam.."

Organized atheism doesn't seem to be very good for one's health.
