When I said, too many Muslims know almost nothing about science and scientific method, I did not say most or majority or anything like it. To me, if 100 million or 10 million Muslims are denied a proper science education, that's too many. Even a million would be too many. But it's happening in too many Islamic countries. It will soon happen in northern Mali, unless the Islamists are stopped, and there's a good chance that they are. Otherwise, the boys learn the Quran and nothing else, and the girls learn nothing at all. Like under the Taliban. More and more parts of Pakistan get influenced by the Taliban too. Aren't you worried? When we talk about hazards of plastic and scientific input is a verse from the Quran, something strange is going on.

Can you think of majority Christian countries with millions of children getting brainwashed in religious schools? There are some South American countries where too many children are denied a proper education. There are problem kids in developed countries with bad parenting and they fail at school.

Muslims who care about their brothers and sisters around the world should do something about Saudi Arabia spreading money to spread dogmatic dark ages Islam, which btw sees Jihad as something very important.
