Likewise in the realm of science: Reilly cites a Pakistani physicist—not an uneducated, impoverished "radical"—saying it is "not Islamic" to believe that combining hydrogen and water makes water; rather, Muslims are "supposed to say that when you bring hydrogen and oxygen together then by the will of Allah [which need not always be consistent] water was created."No laws are deducible from natural phenomena because what you see is entirely a manifestation of the whim of Allah, the moon good. Want to devise a ballistic chart for an artillery round? Fugedaboudid. You're inquiring into the will of Allah, questioning it really (death penalty) and Allah could decide to make the round do a loop-de-loop after lunch.
One of the great pleasures in this life will be to witness what happens when the Muslim dominated-countries implode under the weight of their galactic pile of world-class ignorance after Western aid dries up in the coming financial meltdown. That, sports fans, will be cosmic justice. Islamic intellectual backwardness meet Dirty Harry. Film at 11.
