However Christianity still retains the veiws of its founders not in the bible, some of which are horrid.

Are you next going to claim that Hadiths, Sharia Law, and clerical fatwas are not Islam? We have never bought this feeble excuse so please stop trotting it out every time someone makes an uncomfortable observation.
Barbaric tribal customs informing barbaric tribal Muslims no more inform Islam than barbaric tribal customs informing barbaric tribal Christians informs Christianity. Raping women for not wearing scarves is not a feature of Islam. If Islam never existed and the Middle East was full of Orthodox Christians (the direction it was headed before Mohamed came along), we'd have OC women being raped for not wearing scarves by the same primitives under the label of a different religion. Religion exacerbates the situation, but any religion would do.
It's not an uncomfortable observation, it's a non sequitur.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
