tealinNext in my series of Clearing Out Bits of Paper, a newspaper clipping from 2007:
The Lesson in The Fate of Islamic Science
Be not afraid, it starts out sounding like ye olde 'Islam needs a Reformation' chestnut, but it soon becomes a look at how fundamentalist Christians today parallel the anti-science agenda in the scientifically-advanced early Muslim world. You may or may not agree with it, I'm sure there are any number of arguments to be made about what is and isn't in the article, and you're welcome to discuss it in the comments or amongst your friends or on street corners if you like; I just need to get rid of this piece of paper.
