There is no temporal aspect to this, no relativistic temporal comparison that would infer that islam, being "younger", should allow basic human rights violations.
Of all your silly ass attempts to justify yourself, this one takes the cake. Brutal, honestly.

Did I say they should allow human rights violations? No.
Did I note that they are doing the same thing that Christians did at about the same time in their development? Yes.
If you look in Saudi Arabia, Europe and the US you can see the budding of a potential reform movement within the Islamic faith, in most cases almost as a response in anger of those who have taken the faith to fundamentalist extremes and warped it to promote violence in the name of Allah. Will it develop into an actual reform movement? I dont know, I dont pay enough attention- I have noticed Saudi Arabia having relaxed regulations allowing a greater freedom of speech which would work in favor of those wanting to fight against fundamentalists from within the Islamic faith. But currently it is still a battle of fundamentalists and religious conservatives vs. "western culture" instead of fundamentalists/hardliners/religious-conservatives vs. reformers.
