It seems like there are many similarities, whether it's attitude towards gays, premarital sex, women's rights, honor killings, punishment for crimes, use of alcohol/drugs, holy wars, solution to middle east crisis.

Do you see similarities?

Yep.

All the most regressive countries are socially conservative. It doesn't matter which religion dominates. Conservatism is the problem, not which brand of malarkey the population subscribes to.

If you want your country to be less productive, just adopt socially conservative policies. Restrict your women. Keep the masses poor, uneducated, and obedient as long as they believe in what you preach

If that's the case then the majority of conservatives I know aren't part of the mythical "Christian Right" that you're talking about but then again I know you're just trying to demonize a large percentage of people in this country who don't support your left wing agenda so please, carry on.

I'm not a Christian or a Muslim, but your analogy is ridiculous. I see no comparison between the two religions other than they are both religions.

I doubt the OP's objective was that... but I'll be very blunt and say yes the Christian Right is the problem in America.

All fundamentalists seem intolerant to me.

without thinking about whether the person is good or
bad.

I wasn't comparing two religions, re-read the thread.

Odd, Mohammed sounds a lot like Jesus Christ.
