Πάλι απειλούν οι Μουσουλμάνοι

 Δεν έχουμε κατανοήσει ότι αν δεν τους ξαποστείλουμε θα γίνουμε Αγγλία, όπου διαλέξεις διακόπτονται, καθηγητές απειλούνται, αν διδάσκουν κάτι που δεν αρέσει στον ντόπιο ιμάμη. Στην συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση προκειται για την θεωρία της εξέλιξης (την οποία δυστυχώς απορρίπτουν και κάποιοι "περίεργοι" χριστιανοί στις ΗΠΑ κάνοντας επισόδεια).

"The rise of Islamic creationism has recently become a matter of serious concern in England, and Europe in general. There have been reports in the media of boycotts of university evolution lectures and, in one extreme case, even a threat of violence. How widespread is the rejection of evolution amongst British Muslims and how do we make sense of these public spectacles of creationism in England? While religious/theological objections are indeed at play in some cases, it is likely that the broader narrative of Muslim rejection of evolution in UK may be bound up in reactions to the secular culture and in the formation of a minority religious identity.

"But the issue of this article is not really evolution, it's Islam. The Koran makes it clear the kind of punishment that should be carried out on those who disagree with what it says. So, there's little point complaining about this situation, it's always the way with a vicious philosophy like Islam. Whether it's about evolution, or about cartoons of Mohammad, there will always be problems. Education etc will never solve them, because the text of the Koran is the issue.

Teach Muslims that their Koran is a nightmarish, horrific book or let them get on with the persecutions. Those are the only two real options."

"the problem arises from the fact that the qur'an self-proclaims its own infallibility. that it is eternal, and co-eternal with the god that revealed it. i.e. the copy allah has on the desk next to his throne is exactly the same as the one muslims believe they have today.

this arrogance, coupled with the patently obvious and inherent creation myth within islam, results in a religion whose adherents have trouble reconciling their bronze-aged creation myth with reality.

if someone can claim to think the qur'an is perfect (as it claims), while simultaneously accepting human evolution, that is only evidence that someone can hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously. this phenomenon is known as cognitive dissonance.

islam needs to be reformed. the qur'an needs to be rewritten and the sunnah deleted."

"The biggest threat faced by Muslims is themselves. The problem, in my opinion, is that the Arab muslim leaders, who carry far too much influence in their communities, believe in Islam and only Islam. It is a doctrine that remains embedded in the Middle Ages, in a society that no longer exists. 1000 years ago there were Islamic artists, architects, scholars, writers who were an integral part of the communities in which they lived. There was peace and harmony with both Chistians and Jews. Before I receive complaints about the Crusades and the Spanish inquisition I know this ideal did not last.
But the point is how many creative people are there today in the Arab world enlightening us with their talent. Not that many. They are still locked into the past because their religion is more than a religion, it is a way of life with laws that surpass all others including those of the nation state. And it is precisely this point that makes it difficult for true Arab muslims to ever cohabit successfully in the West. This is where change has to come. There has to be an awakening and a desire to join what is now a global village in the 21st century."
