Reader comment on item: On NASA's Strange Priorities
in response to reader comment: The ...Qur'an is all Muslims need to 'feel good about themselves'
Submitted by Ugri (Finland), Jul 8, 2010 at 12:48
Must be the same Susan whose writing I saved some time ago (April 15). And now again, brilliant, scathing, no-nonsense text, brilliant English prose. I am not able to devise any improvements. I'll save this one too, to share when needed.
