<<over camel dung and ate lizards until say the mid 50's>> while I'd believe the "cooked over camel dung" I don't believe the lizards would fall with-in Islam dietary law - much like Kosher from all I've read. <<we would have about 2 felon fries a day. Texas still does the big sleep for about 2 longhorn assassins a week.>> Only 13 so far, but not to worry, there may be enough time yet. smu.edu

<<The Muslims went backwards and replaced enlightenment with ever more reconstructionist attempts to reconcile the misinterpretation of the sublime with the incessant nagging of the revelations of the nature of phenomena. When our religionists could not see the systematics of nature within their scriptural rigor, they bowed to the lack of necessity of religion to dominate or operate other systems. Galileo conquered the Galilean in his ken. (not really, as the two sets of knowledge never overlap. But we can seem to say so, as religion always attempted to have the final word, or the only word when the Pope's word was law and decree.) We have successfully extricated religion, philosophy, law and science. We can live with imperfection without sin. Hopelessly entangled, like a cave man in long chain polymer straight jacket, the Muslim thinker uses science like a Devil's hammer to smite the servants of the Devil. A child could tell him he is crazy and naive to look for god in atoms and stars. He needs a sophomore psychology course to let him know his religion does not conflict science, fatalism does not deny philosophy or science. Allah can coexist with a Universe that begins and ends; is random and systematically predictable at the same time.>> Isn't that much the same as saying "Christians are backward" when one views only the Amish?
