While the Rest of Us Moved On
Can Islam walk lockstep with civilization and contribute positively to the world? Or, is it forever stuck in a 1400 year old mode that, unless completely revamped, will forever put Islam at odds with civil human interaction and modern modes of life:

That's unfair. I bet nearly all of them believe in gravity.
That our culture produces un-self-aware mediocrities like Paul, who bafflingly feel competent to expound on the cultural sophistication of other civilisations, is an irony I'm *sure* he won't get.

Gravity's just a theory. I believe that invisible, flying chinchillas are responsible for pulling everything towards the centre of the earth. You will respect my belief.
Yes, and we're not saying we should completely abandon the teaching of the gravity theory. We just need to give equal time in the classroom to the chinchilla theory.
