Balafon

I’ve recently discovered Steve Dutch’s pages on “Science, Pseudoscience and Irrationalism“. Full of wonderful stuff — clearly reasoned, scrupulously fair, and whitheringly contemptuous of those who would let fuzzy-headed feelings of goodwill determine their lives.

But . . . the absolute shocker for me was something that I have never heard of in years and years of interest in and study of the Middle East conflict. Allow me to quote from the Noble Qur`an, Surah 17 verse 104:

And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in judgment.
