That presumes that the spiritual beliefs of Christianism are in the Book of Genesis. Which is as wrong as it can get. Needless to says, it points to a total lack of knowledge of Christianism and Christendom itself.

Religion was a manner of explaining and justifying events in the material world which still is the only reality we know of.

Are you by chance referring to the external signs of primitive religions? Because if that's so, it is unrelated.

It concerns us, Islam is a religion on the rise on our grounds and this event provides us a good idea of religious censorship in even secular models.

To bring Islam into the debate as if pretending that it is the cause of all our problems, in defense of a pretended scientistic (materialistic) absolute, is a swindle that diverts the attention from the source of all problems.
And the fact is that Islam only becomes a problem for European societies from the moment that this materialistic (your scientistic) approach to Man takes over and destroys the strong foundations upon which European societies had been built up.
It is only when Europeans have been largely stripped off the strength once provided by their spiritual beliefs (Pagan at a time, then Christian), by the religion of materialism and pseudo-scientism, that we are left out in the cold as easy preys for peoples from societies which are stronger than us. Call them Islamics or call them something else, it matters little.
Though I personally appreciate you, I see what's wrong with your expositions and I believe that I know the source of it, which if discussed in more depth they should take us to an inter-ethnic conflict of interests.
