Support for Intelligent Design from Dubai

It will doubtless comfort the ID enthusiasts that, despite their defeat in federal court and the near universal rejection of ID by real scientists, their views resonate in the archaic minds of the muslim world. Khaleej Times, the largest English language newspaper in the United Arab Emirates, asked editorial, "What's wrong with Intelligent Design?" They were unable to find anything.

I also found a letter to the editor, criticizing the paper for its extensive coverage of Elton John getting hitched to a man. The writer pointed out that this was a muslim family newspaper and it would be hard for parents to explain this stuff to their kids. Gee, Intelligent Design, homophobia. Maybe between Pat Robertson and the islamists there are only distinctions without differences.
