Why are the extremist christians more pragmatic than the extremist muslims?

[RINO Tom]

It's worth noting that even the most extremist fundamentalist Christians have a very different understanding of what the Bible is compared to their Muslim counterparts' understanding of what the Quran is.  The New Testament is a collection of writings and letters that Christians believe are historically accurate, but they're still written by men that are allegedly writing down what they witnessed after the fact.  They're primary sources claiming to have been witness to supernatural events.

Compare that to the Quran, which is said by Muslims to actually be a refined word of God that is the "final" dotting of the Is and crossing of the Ts to all of the holy texts that came before it.  It is believed to be "without error" in a much different, more dogmatic way than the Bible is to those who hold to inerrancy.  If Christians believed that Jesus wrote the whole New Testament himself, they'd have similar extremist issues as Muslims, JMO.
