You are talking @ uneducated superstitious Muslims and things not related to Islam !!
wonders me !!
What is the cause of their illiteracy/uneducation (as in this case described by Dr. Pipes) ?
Isn't it they think Koran as a universal journal of science & don't need any other source to read from/to be taught to them. Who is making them superstitious (like to die heart believing in splitting
of moon, even though living in 21st century). Who is responsible to their source of misery ??
