In the modern Western milieu, religion is just one of many characteristics that distinguishes mostly similar individuals. In the Islamic countries, religion is the defining characteristic. And that makes Islam much different.

And indeed what is happening is that the difference is culture. Not religion.
African Christians also often have very strict regulations that make it more of a way of life than just something to believe in.

I mean even in europe you see in some countries how 'defining' catholisism is (Italy for example) and I think the same goes for some midwestern states in the US.

In every country or every part of a country that has some kind of closed society and a somewhat lower cultural, social and economic development standard religion can become defining and will if it has the possibilities continuously try and increase its power.

In Holland we had a government a few years ago in which for the first time there was a kind of real christian majority (with one of the smaller more extreme parties being involved) and directly you saw that they started to break down our liberal laws, on euthenasia, abortion, drugs etc. (Something which obviously had strong support from the islamic comunity as well by the way).

Our problem in the west is not with Islam it is with too oldfashioned and traditional cultures.
