"One could make the case that the Islamic religion is not friendly to science", Richard Dawkins in the Observer (and Guardian Weekly). He might be regarded as a great scientific, but he definitely sucks at history ... It's not hard to take a history book and see that the great scientifics breakthroughs in the middle ages were taking place in the muslim world.
How can he not see that scientific greatness is linked much more to economics than we care to imagine ? It's not a war-torn country that will be able to spare money and brains for science (like Europe in the middle ages, and the middle east today).
