I think the Board's biggest political goof was to drag in that IslamoWacko Creationist to support their position. Reasonable Kansans would find that quite repugnant and begin to ask quite penetrating questions about the brains (or lack thereof) of the School Board members.

Americans tend to ignore many political dealings, but when the idiots go too far, they usually slap them down. Who wants to be embarrassed in the public eye when any sane person would avoid such? So- Out you go, to be replaced with another hack, but maybe one that thinks before they act.

Mustafa Akyol (Turkish creationist) testifies in Kansas "Monkey Trial".
Why Muslims Should Support Intelligent Design, By Mustafa Akyol. Exerpts:

Muslims should also note the great similarity between the arguments of the Intelligent Design Movement and Islamic sources. Hundreds of verses in the Qur’an call people to examine the natural world and see in it the evidence of God. Great Islamic scholars like Ghazali wrote large volumes about design in animals, plants, and the human body. What Intelligent Design theorists like Behe or Dembski do today is to refine the same argument with the findings of modern science.

In short, Intelligent Design is not alien to Islam. It is very much our cause, and we should do everything we can to support it.
