Islam the Religion of Reason

Recently the Koelner Stadtanzeiger (A newspaper located in Cologne, Germany), published two articles, these were titled "Drewerman lobt Islam" (Drewerman praised Islam) and "Mohammed wollte nichts Neues bringen" (Mohammed did not want to bring something new).
The first one illustrates how the Islam was originally considered the 'religion of Reason' (Vernunftreligion). In contrast to the Christian faith which was not considered as such. Drewerman is a controversial Theologist which, sides with the criticism of Philosoph Jürgen Habermas, which states that the Christian church displayed a bit too much 'Reason-pride' (Vernunftstolz) concerning it's confrontation with the Islamic faith.

In the second article the Philosoph Jürgen Habermas criticizes the christian church for 'Reason-Pride' (Vernunftstolz). He points out how the thinking froze (Erstarrung des Denkens) which eventually let to the point at which every Christian Dogma became a fighting-symbol for the homogenizing of the believers (Kampfinstrument zur Homogenisierung).

The two articles collectively point out how the Christian faith is the aggressive faith of the two. 'While Mohammed wanted to re-create an old religion the one human true religion, while Pope Benedict XVI wanted to change the world.' says Drewerman.
The Islamic faith is shown to be a religion of reason while the Christian faith is an aggressive faith that forcefully converts.
