Christianity (I hope I don't offend anyone) is ahead of the game in a sense, everything that has hit Christianity especially over the last two hundred years (Charles Darwin etc) is now muddying the waters of Islam, democracy opens up every door and this of course is a good and bad thing.
I believe that Islam is now only walking that long road whereas Christianity has adapted and addressed nearly all arguements, you only have to look at the Answers In Genesis site, it's a creationist site that deals with evolution, in any way, a Muslim speaker in Turkey is using material, superb material, built up over many decades in this fight of Evolution V Creation, the Muslim man has even realised a book but 95% of his material comes from Christian sources, that's because we are so used to dealing with atheist arguements. Christianity has been prepared for a long time now in how to deal with this everchanging world because at first we were sloppy in our approach and lost ground to atheists, of course Muslims will now have to combat this themselves in the long run. That's why I feel that Islam is from now on walking on rough ground, the Qur'an will over the next few years, as moderates are seen to be in the majority, be questioned and even ridiculed, the Bible has been hit at from every side and has won over, the Qur'an has yet to feel the liberal extreme left wing world- wide punch.
Please comment on what I've said above, if you agree or disgree.
