Christian, dont have and I think never had scripts as rigourous and as authentic as the muslims scripts, this is why in christianity when the pope rule its the pope will


I am not willing to get into a debate on which religion has a better 'script'.

But I will argue that some forms of Christianity practice much what you mentioned.

  • Bans on Music
  • Bans on Dancing
  • Modesty in Dress
  • Tithing
  • Celibacy (one famous Christian religion practiced this to their demise)
  • Bans on Technology (Amish)
  • Bans on Medicine - from blood transfusions to little or not medicine at all


My point in all of this is that the issue a religion denying themselves something is not evidence, per se, that the religion is dangerous to society as a whole.

The biggest problem for Iran is that is has a lot of what America is addicted to.
Otherwise, for Americans, it would be a lot more like Malaysia.
