Darwin vs Islam

Science recognized Darwin and his theory of evolution decades ago.  It is pretty much common and accepted knowledge that evolution and all that goes with it is true.  Islam does not recognize Darwin, as that would call into question the doctrine which says Allah created the earth specifically for Muslims to rule over. 

This Muslim scientist dared to question the will and power of Allah, and for that he must be punished.

A prominent British imam has been forced to retract his claims that Islam is compatible with Darwin's theory of evolution after receiving death threats from fundamentalists.

Dr Usama Hasan, a physics lecturer at Middlesex University and a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, was intending yesterday to return to Masjid al-Tawhid, a mosque in Leyton, East London, for the first time since he delivered a lecture there entitled "Islam and the theory of evolution".

But according to his sister, police advised him not to attend after becoming concerned for his safety. Instead his father, Suhaib, head of the mosque's committee of trustees, posted a notice on his behalf expressing regret over his comments. "I seek Allah's forgiveness for my mistakes and apologise for any offence caused," the statement read.

Did the Doctor cave to threats on his life?  Was he reminded of the importance of being a "good Muslim" through the invocation of any Qur'anic verse? 

The campaign is part of a growing movement by a small but vocal group of largely Saudi-influenced orthodox Muslims who use evolution as a way of discrediting imams whom they deem to be overly progressive or "western orientated".

The same Islamist trick; accuse your opponent of being too "Western" but don't address the real issue, which is Islam stifles free thinking and free speech.
