The Jokes of Islamic Science from Zia Era

I have taken the following diagrams as a fair use from the Urdu translated version of Pervez Hoodbhoy‘s book Islam and Science, available for free download at Mashal Books Website. (The Urdu version is named as Musalman Aur Science)

The First diagram shows a graph which presents the relationship (exponential, that is great for the fans of rituals) between the number of people offering prayers and the total amount of Sawab. This graph was presented in an Islamic Science Conference  hosted by Zia Regime in 1983.

The second diagram attempts to present an analogy between the states of the universe (as described by religious teaching) with electromagnetism.

Similarly,  one of the opportunist sycophants, whom the Pakistanis proudly regard as the developers of their weapons of mass destruction, once presented a research proposal to generate electricity from jinns.

What a waste of tax-payers money.

    quoting

    “Your preacher fellows may love to pounce upon the last two categories but beware not to go near these people. They are mostly educated, well-learned intellectuals who know almost everything much better than your preachers. You may not want to lose your precious young energetic converts to their intellectual, bookish gibberish.”

    come one…stop blowing your own trumpet.. it proves that you are confused yourself so first sort out your own issues and doubts and then write on such a subject.

    I would really like to know how it proves that I am confused. Will you please elaborate?

    Nice…I think our scientists should look more closely at the research done on producing electricity from Jinns…This might be our answer to solving the current energy crisis…

      Yes , the idea seems quite interesting and matches with our beliefs. And there are many people rather thousands of people who claim that they have Jinns in their captivity and obey their orders. So there will not be much difficulty in approaching those Aamils and training them in some scientific and technolgical principals, like how to connect them wires or put pipes in their holes, also to deterimine which hole will be hottest, and as their are male and female jinns, the differences in the hotness between the two will also have to take into account……. and such many other things
