Physicist Walks Out of Gender-Segregated Debate At London University

A renowned American physicist created a row at University College London last weekend when he stormed out of a debate hosted by an Islamic group because men, women and couples in the audience were segregated.

The physicist, Lawrence Krauss, is a professor at Arizona State University. Krauss is a noted atheist who served on President Barack Obama’s science policy committee during the 2008 presidential campaign.

The debate, sponsored by the Islamic Education and Research Academy, was entitled: “Islam or Atheism: Which Makes More Sense?”

A YouTube clip posted by Stand for Peace, which brands itself as a Jewish-Muslim interfaith organization, reveals the meatiest part of the kerfuffle.

According to The Daily Telegraph, security staffers had attempted to escort three men out of the event after they endeavored to sit with the single women in the audience — far in the very back of the auditorium.

Funny you should mention that. It was the aforementioned priest friend who drew my attention to the Regensburg Address in the first place, and I have it stored on my computer.

What a mind Ratzinger has! What brilliance as a writer and theologian!

Benedict XVI, aka, as the “Theological Einstein” of our times! He reduces all other modern interpreters and scholars of Scripture to rancid goat’s milk.

What, did he walk into the wrong meeting? What did he expect? Just making a statement, I guess.

Yeah, good for him. He saw what they were doing and by walking out told them to “go pound sand.” (I doubt this would bother muzzies much.)

You reap what you sew and this fool at one time sure as hell helped sew that seed he found bitter.

It is annoying for me to hear athiests -- many of them -- talking about how they are for reason and logic and then embrace the most anti reason and anti logical of the religions.

Many atheists are against Christianity mainly because they don't like disapproval of their lifestyles.

Islam is a religion of plunder which is OK with sexual slavery. As such, it appeals to a certain personality type.

I don’t think it’s that doable, because they all hate one common enemy more than they hate each other. Until the Christians are gone, none of those groups are very motivated to eat each other.
