"Inspired by the high profile of its Christian American counterpart, Muslim creationism is becoming increasingly visible and confident. On scores of websites and in dozens of books with titles like The Evolution Deceit and The Dark Face of Darwinism, a new and well-funded version of evolution-denialism, carefully calibrated to exploit the current fashion for religiously inspired attacks on scientific orthodoxy and “militant” atheism, seems to have found its voice. In a recent interview with The Times Richard Dawkins himself recognises the impact of this new phenomenon: “There has been a sharp upturn in hostility to teaching evolution in the classroom and it’s mostly coming from Islamic students.” The patron saint of this new movement, the ubiquitous “expert” cited and referenced by those eager to demonstrate the superiority of “Koranic science” over “the evolution lie”, is the larger-than-life figure of Harun Yahya." - Eivind from Bookmarklet

Still the absolute best at content filtering/curation and generating real conversation. While the FriendFeed team has helped make Facebook better, it still pivots around people instead of content, doesn't fully leverage FoaF and hasn't matched the near synchronous conversations that take place on FriendFeed. - AJ Kohn

Thanks people. Content-centered vs people-centered... My mind wandered to the two sites' names "FB" = face (of a person) but FF = "friend" which is still a person... I don't have a point about that, lol... - Edward Zwart

I'm not saying that this isn't social but the vector - primarily because of the heavy use of FoaF - is to leverage the social connections to deliver relevant content.

CHRISTIANS in Sydney will have their core beliefs challenged by provocative advertisements due to appear on billboards and buses in the next month. The ads, paid for by an Islamic group called MyPeace, will carry slogans such as ''Jesus: a prophet of Islam'', ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' and ''Muhammad: mercy to mankind''. A phone number urges people to call to receive a free Koran and other Islamic literature. The organiser of MyPeace, Diaa Mohamed, said the campaign was intended to educate non-Muslims about Islam. He said Jesus was a prophet of Islam, who was to come before Muhammad. ''The only difference is we say he was a prophet of God, and they say he is God,'' Mr Mohamed said. ''Is it thought-provoking? Yes, it is. We want to raise awareness that Islam believes in Jesus Christ,'' he said. Mr Mohamed said he hoped the billboards would encourage Christians and Muslims to find common ground. They were not intended to downgrade the significance of Jesus. ''We embrace him and say that he was one of the mightiest prophets of God." - #cryptic from FFHound(roid)!

Straw man. The argument against evolution is not that a sum of small changes does not equal a large change (that is a semantic/logical statement), but rather an argument against the claim that biological organisms contain the potential to change into entirely different species. - Kevin L
