I find it interesting that there is a growing awareness in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim creationist circles that international terrorism is a left-wing, materialist (Temple of Darwin) movement bent on destroying God's creation.

Here is but one example:

Turkish book traces terror’s origin to Darwin’s theory

ISTANBUL, November 23 A LAVISHLY illustrated Atlas of Creation is mysteriously turning up at schools and libraries in Turkey, proclaiming that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution is the real root of terrorism. Arriving unsolicited by post, the large-format tome offers 768 glossy pages of photographs and easy-to-read text to prove that God created the world with all its species. At first sight, it looks like it could be the work of United States creationists who believe the world was created in six days as told in the Bible. But the author’s name, Harun Yahya, reveals the surprise inside. This is Islamic creationism, a richly funded movement based in predominantly Muslim Turkey which has an influence US creationists could only dream of.

Aykut Kence, biology professor at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, said time for discussing evolution had been cut out of class schedules for the eighth grade this year. “The students will just learn there is a theory called evolution defended by Darwin back in the 19th century,” he said.

Atlas of Creation carries a book-length essay arguing that Darwinism, by stressing the “survival of the fittest,” has inspired racism, Nazism, communism and terrorism. “The root of the terrorism that plagues our planet is not any of the divine religions, but atheism, and the expression of atheism in our times (is) Darwinism and materialism,” it says.

Yes, Turkeys Islamic Creationist movement MUST be an unbiased source about Darwin Islam and terrorism. Get a grip GGG. The “growing awareness” is self delusion; you are trying to claim the Tiger is a vegetarian.

The only thing correct from your source is that they DO NOT learn anything about Darwin in their Middle East education. The extent of their education is this...

“The students will just learn there is a theory called evolution defended by Darwin back in the 19th century,”

And based upon this you conclude that Terrorists from the Middle East are “Temple of Darwin fanatics”? They wouldn't know Darwin from Descartes.

So the author of the “Atlas of Creation” that your source talks about, your source for your idiotic contention that Evolution is at the root of terrorism; ALSO thinks that evolution was responsible for 9-11.

Do you agree with your beloved Islamic Creationist that the 9-11 terrorists were inspired by Darwinism?

What is your evidence for such a preposterous claim?

Don't you feel that the anything this idiot might say about terrorism would be tainted by such an asinine assertion as the 9-11 terrorists being influenced by Darwin?

So quit avoiding the question.

Do you think the 9-11 bombers (along with the “vast majority” of terrorists) were “Temple of Darwin” fanatics?

Well???
