My point exactly. Christianity has a 600 year headstart.
Islam on the other hand has stagnated - it has remained stuck in the 9th Century - since the 9th Century - and has proven absolutely resistant to the encroachment of a single modern idea.
Christianity (and Judaism, and Buddhism for that matter) are more advanced not because they got a "head start" but because they are open to the ideas of human progress and the primacy of individual liberty - concepts that Islam explicitly rejects.
