I agree with Mr. Wadell that all ideologies are not created equal.  He highlights some of the differences between Islam and Christianity, but the most important distinction regarding ideologies is faith-based v. evidence-based.

Stone age-ideologies like Islam and Christianity which are based on ridiculous unsupported fantasies have proven to be terrible for humanity.  Evidence/science based ways of knowing are far superior.   And while they don't guarantee immediate peace and prosperity, they most certainly give us the best chance for it.  That's why institutions in our society responsible for seeking the truth like the press, the courts, and universities, use evidence-based ways of knowing and long ago left behind the great engine of ignorance and stupidity known as religion. It's depressing that so many still hold on to these very old and very destructive faith-based ideas.
