The Muzzers are about 500 years behind Christianity
and still have proportionately more believers that stick to the literal interpretation of the texts. If we look at the Christians of 1515AD they were all a bit backward or look that way to us now.

In short, we should fuck them all off back to bongo-bongo land to live in tents.
