Essentially this. Though Christianity had similarly barbaric beginnings, it has at least been 'updated' frequently enough to keep up with the emergence of equal Human Rights as they developed.

Islam was created in a way that essentially set everything in stone however, so any attempts to 'modernize' or reinterpret it wouldn't last long, leading to constant infighting.

Admittedly there are now many denominations of Christianity depending on ones' interpretation of a version of the Bible and the others, but you don't hear about them starting wars between each other.
