Ubiquitous Islam

Submitted by Dr. Jamshid Ibrahim (United States), Feb 20, 2005 at 16:30

According to some Muslims who appear on Aljazeera, all advances in science and technology go back to Islam (I wonder whether the landing on Mars is also Islamic). Islam penertates everything, It is meant for all mankind and no other religion or faith should be tolerated because it is the religion which cancels everything that was before. In the same way the followers of Shia believe that all human knowledge goes back to Ali, the fourth Califa and Prophet's cousin. This puts him at par with or very close to God.

Islam is not only a religion but it incorporates all disciplines whether politics, law, medicine, economics, technology, botany, physics, chemistry (alchemy: al kimia: by the way only the article is Arabic, the word Chemistry is of Greek origin), mathmatics etc. This means there is no Christian (or better infidel) contribution to any science and whatever problems we face in our life can be solved very easily by going back to Koran.

Congratualations friends, we have already found a scientific formula which explains everything not only on Earth but can also be applied to all cosmic phenomena.F

rom now on I would not worry any more because I know there is a Mullah there who can explain and solve all problems and can rescue mankind by giving it an Islamic interpretation.

Sometimes I feel the need to tell these people we are in the second millenium or more precisely in 2005.
