Thank god for that.. Christianity has about a thousand different denominations now, which keeps Christians from going into a religious fervor, and another crusade. Islam only has two or three major denominations (that I am aware of), and when you have millions of people that belong to one coherent faith, terrible things can be accomplished.
The saving grace of Christianity is they cant even agree what parts of the bible are divine... Every denomination only follows certain parts of the bible that they deem acceptable, and ignore the parts that are inconvienent.
Islam is SOLID. You either take the Koran, or you dont. You dont modify it, you dont ignore the parts you dont like.. And when you have that many believers all moving in the same direction, it only takes a couple to start a stampede of holy war.
