Sounds like you simply came across rather limited examples for either religion. http://alphacourse.org/ lists a string of worldwide sites, but all of them decidedly European or Asian (the two possible exceptions, South Africa and India, are arguably on the border). Odd, since the greatest growth for the Christian faith is currently occuring in Latin America and Africa. As for the other, based on the female imam commentary alone I would argue that Emmel's perspective is rather fringe for mainstream Muslims, much as those Christians who argue for female priests or gay marriage are for middle of the road Christians. But in either case I wouldn't take these publications to be a comprehensive representative of the faith.

Damn, that's twice in as many days you got me rambling on about religion!
