A-ha!

Maybe, possibly, perhaps, this will be the item that puts the leftists onto treating Islam as badly as they do Christianity.

In the United States, opposition to the teaching of evolution in public schools has largely been fueled by the religious right, particularly Protestant fundamentalism.

Now another voice is entering the debate, in dramatic fashion.

It is the voice of Adnan Oktar of Turkey, who, under the name Harun Yahya, has produced numerous books, videos and DVDs on science and faith, in particular what he calls the “deceit” inherent in the theory of evolution. One of his books, “Atlas of Creation,” is turning up, unsolicited, in mailboxes of scientists around the country and members of Congress, and at science museums in places like Queens and Bemidji, Minn.

At 11 x 17 inches and 12 pounds, with a bright red cover and almost 800 glossy pages, most of them lavishly illustrated, “Atlas of Creation” is probably the largest and most beautiful creationist challenge yet to Darwin’s theory, which Mr. Yahya calls a feeble and perverted ideology contradicted by the Koran.

In bowing to Scripture, Mr. Yahya resembles some fundamentalist creationists in the United States. But he is not among those who assert that Earth is only a few thousand years old. The principal argument of “Atlas of Creation,” advanced in page after page of stunning photographs of fossil plants, insects and animals, is that creatures living today are just like creatures that lived in the fossil past. Ergo, Mr. Yahya writes, evolution must be impossible, illusory, a lie, a deception or “a theory in crisis.”

What will the leftists do when the Muslims they’ve given into time and time again, with prayer rooms, time off classes for prayer, supplying mats for prayer, special bathroom facilities, etc, try and slip this onto the curriculum?

They can’t give into them after denying Christians their “Intelligent Design” theories.

It will be entertaining, to say the least.

    Fooey! Just when you get that warm fuzzy feeling of observing illogic meeting illogic and both ideas mutually destructing, you can bet that political correctness will find a way to make an exception so that the creationism expressed in Quranic terms is more correct than the same level of idiocy expressed in fundie Christian terms, and therefore supportable by the Left.

    Life just ain’t fair.

    Liberals haven’t been outraged by Muslim’s neglect for the rights of women, homosexuals, or animals to join in the War on Terrror to fight then, a Muslim calling for creationism to be taught in schools will rightly be ignored by the libs.
