My last thought for the night.

Islamic studies- yes, christian, jewish, hindu, buddist? Did you study these in government schools? Evolutionary biology? Philosophy? Sociology? Earth sciences? Cosmology? Anthropology? World history?

Comparative study helps forge links between all these subjects till you find the kernels of truth. Studying just ONE subject, no matter what it is, makes you blinkered.
