In the book What went Wrong? Bernard Lewis says on page 150:
"... just as some Europeans manged to create a Christianity without compassion, so did some Middle Easterners create a democracy without freedom."
The first phrase in this sentence interests me as a I don't think of Christianity being free from compassion but often the religious organization appears motivated by something other than compassion - prestige, following, prosperity, exclusivity, etc..
