Islamisists don't seem to enamoured with free market capitalism. When they take over, it is not very good for the GNP. Sudan, Iran, Taliban in Afghanistan etc. When Christian Conservatives get elected it is usually pretty good for the economy - i.e. Mexico, Guatemala etc.
Fundamentalism seems to be on the rise, but Islamic Fundamentalists are a lot more destructive to prosperity. That is the difference.
