Interesting link, thanks for that. So, it seems that just as there are Christian scientists whose science is marred by their Christian beliefs, but there are also Christian scientists whose adherence to the scientific paradigm is paramount, (neither of which is, of course to be confused with a Christian Scientist), so it seems there are Islamic scientists whose science is similarly marred by their adherence to religious dogma, but there are also Islamic scientists, doing perfectly good scientific work.

Both lots of scientists are concerned with the unprovable, but neither type of scientist is - to return to the topic of the thread.
