Christians are from the 1st century, and are not hedonists. Legalism is bad in general, and the Jewish law by the letter is just as wicked as the Islamic law by the letter. Recognizing that is not hedonism. If anything the law was hedonist for the ruling elites of Judah at everyone elses' expense, and tries to justify the blood on their hands. Same with Islam. But it's important to remember that in modern times only the radicals actually believe in any of that, so someone being a Jew or a Muslim doesn't mean they support those things.
