Note that the most advanced countries in real world are christian ones.
And rather islam fundamentalists are those who discourage science. In
middle ages there was reverse situation. Christian Europe fell into mental
darkness, while Arabs had universities and scientists. I think that this
is not a certain religion what inhibits the science, but just
fundamentalism and theocracy. Today's muslim Jihad is like medieval
catholic crusades.

In payciv2 there is such a government as 'fundamentalism'. I would
implement government type named 'fundamentalism' which would be like
monarchy but:

- all units have 50% bonus in attack
- science prod is halved by 50%
