People are being generous when they say Arabs are stuck in the 7th century.

This spider mumbo-jumbo sounds more like the product of a mind trapped in the 7th millenium BC.

One of the top engineers in Pakistan's nuclear program had a part-time hobby: to harness the power of jenies to produce electricity.

"A more public example: One of two Pakistani nuclear engineers recently arrested on suspicion of passing nuclear secrets to the Taliban had earlier proposed to solve Pakistan's energy problems by harnessing the power of genies. He relied on the Islamic belief that God created man from clay, and angels and genies from fire; so this highly placed engineer proposed to capture the genies and extract their energy."
