And why do Muslim countries, with a population ballpark 1.5 billion,
produce so very few scientists and engineers?

Because science and religion don't mix well.

Perhaps its fundamentalism and science that don't mix well.

Despite this, Islamic
science did quite well prior to the 14th century:

Afterwards, Islamic science took a big dive. See:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_science#Decline>
for an explanation.

Give Islam a chance. They are about 600 years behind Christianity, which
puts them on schedule for their own Renaissance in the near future.

That's all well and good if they go that way, before trying to end
the world!

Meanwhile, the greatest growth in Christianity is among cults who
believe in a 6000 year old world and the coexistence of dinosaurs and
homo sapiens.

Absolute nonsense.

Science and math education is suffering in his country while nut case
parents jerk their kids out of classes at the mere mention of Darwin. We
elect a nut case for a president that thinks he hears God's voice
(probably just *** Cheney on the Whitehouse intercom).

You think the state should tell parents what to believe and how to
teach their children? How open minded of you.


If the alternative is that the state will have to feed and house them,
or protect their domestic industries from higher quality foreign
products when they grow up with no marketable skills, then my answer is
'Yes'.

Yep, you're as "tolerant" as the rest of the leftist weenies.

If you think my insisting that people get an education so as not to live
the rest of their lives on welfare or have the government intervene on
their behalf every time they fall n their little ignorant butts is
leftist or intolerant, that's fine by me.

I think your logic sucks as badly as your politics.

Bad politics as in 'give in to the demands of the flat earthers or else
they'll vote for an incompetent moron'?

No, you made the *stupid* assumption that education had to be
delivered by the state.
