A Review of: Pervez Hoodbhoy, Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and Battle for Rationality

Hoodbhouy is one of those clowns [along with ghamidi] who are the imams of misguidence of “moderates”

This review of one of his book exposes how inept he is when it comes to discussing religion

Nice try, trying to dumb down masses. Here is just one para from this so called review;

Salam divides the ‘ulama` into two categories. “First, there are the lay preachers whose major task is to lead prayers in the rural mosques and who earn their living by performing such functions as officiating marriage, death, and circumcision ceremonies and looking after the upkeep of the mosques.” With undisguised disdain the Nobel laureate suggests the following way to deal with them: “This is a professional class who should have scant interest in fundamentalist persecution once their livelihood is secured. If this can be guaranteed them … they would not retard the progress of science and technology.” What a brilliant solution! Classes that retard progress should be guaranteed livelihood so that other classes may be encouraged to retard progress!

What does this mean exactly just to see what is fascinating you? Does he mean people who want the progress of science and technology by phrase ‘other classes may be encouraged to retard progress’? If so then its obvious this guy is a religious fundamentalist and has agenda to throw mud over anyone who is working for the progress of science and technology.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
