Of course, the Islamic view is that "evolution" is a Jewish and American Imperalist conspiracy.
OK, since they are in bed with what is supposed to be the enemy, can we assume that the basis for the anti-evolution (anti-science) movement is unpatriotic at the very least?
I'm neither kidding nor exaggerating. Honest science education is very much the friend of democracy. These are people who want to impose some type of authoritarian control, and each side (Islamic/Fundamentalist) is betting they will prevail in the end so they cooperate to tear down education.
