Rejection of Evolution by Muslims in London

From Salman Hameed of Irtiqa:

Here is a CNN story about the radicalization of Muslims in London that focuses on the London Islamic Society. The recent Nigerian bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, served as president of the society. What I found interesting was the fact that the society found it essential to include an anti-evolution video on its Web site:

After the Christmas scare, videos of UCL Islamic Society gatherings were removed from YouTube, and its Web site was taken down. An Islamic Society video allowed to remain online, presumably regarded by UCL authorities as not so embarrassing, boasted of “the collapse of evolution in the very building dedicated to Charles Darwin. In the spot he once lived.”

This is a good example of the rejection of evolution as part of identity politics.
