This is very interesting!
I just hope that non-Muslim conservatives and Muslim conservatives alike don't use this as an excuse to preach to their women folk that they need to forget about higher education and jobs and instead serve their god by marrying young, staying home and making as many babies as possible.

You know kanalli A day will come and they'll use this as an excuse for women to marry and stay home instead..that's not becouse they don't deserve jobs and so on, but becouse there will be fewer of it due to high tech factories and work places, in other words the kind of jobs that require intense labour will be at its lowest level..
It will turn out to be the arena for men only, just as it was right at the beginning when civilisation of the humankind was taking place...The divine order once more will profess itself..

Just like I was watching yesterday when a researcher got hundreds of signatures on a petition at a tree hugger protest to ban Dihydrogen mono-oxide. And there were no crap facts given while explaning what Dihydrogen mono-oxide is and its effects. Even the president of some tree hugging association signed it.
For all those who don't know what Dihydrogen mono-oxide is. Its H20 i.e water !

That is awful! They mean well, but they are clueless about what they are signing! Chemistry teachers across the US must have been cringing. (Truthfully though, if I was at one of those environmental rallies and I heard the word monoxide (as in dreaded carbon monoxide) and didn't pay attention I'd likely have signed it too!)

They actually have no clue but are more than happy to jump on the band wagon to feed their bias because someone looking and sounding authorative ( blogs, media, speeches, flashy videos ) told them so.
Again I like to use one of my favourite qoutes of recent times by Jon Stewart at the rally to restore sanity " If we amplify everything, we hear nothing "

Someone who claimed a cruise missile slammed into the Pentagon's wall because they didn't do enough research/didn't apply enough analytical thought to the scenario probably shouldn't scoff at those with whom he disagrees with, no?
