Am in favor letting modern science & scholarship do its work. Very easy to let higher criticism take all Old Testament stories apart, those of Moses, Abraham, Joseph on down. They are all fables, which leaves Mohammed as a true prophet in a well of trouble. One could do much worse damage than just make cartoons of the prophet, very simple to demonstrate most old prophets did not exist or fabricated in later.
It would really screw with these cleric's heads, with what they cannot fight against--->real knowledge, real history not fake.
This is what Islamic Clerics fear most, why they would destroy world heritage sites & innudating Cyrus the Great's tomb, or Taliban blowing up statues of Buddha. They can't handle truth, tough, enough correctness.
You want to become their worst nightmare, this is how, no shots fired.
Napoleon's archaeologists discovered the Rosetta Stone when campaigning in Egypt. Napoleon (genius) was following Alexander's route & exploits up thru Syria, once we had key to Egyptian writing, Old Testament shows so many holes & vast limitations to enter realms of the rediculous.
You want to become their worst nightmare, this is how, but fundamentalist Christians here would fight to block this also.
(They almost always fail the big love test anyways, so who cares ? ;0) )
