[extropy-chat] Ultra-hard-line Islam report on bioethics

[Joseph Bloch]

Nope... just providing context. These are the extremist Muslims we all 
keep hearing about.

If you read the main website, you will see the stuff about 
re-establishing the Caliphate and bringing the world under Islam. See, 
for example http://www.hizb-ut-tahrir.org/english/english.html where we 
see such gems as "It [their political party] also strives to bring her 
back to her previous might and glory such that she wrests the reins of 
initiative away from other states and nations, and returns to her 
rightful place as the first state in the world, as she was in the past, 
when she governs the world according to the laws of Islam."

And, personally, I don't think "it's forbidden because an old book says 
that God said it's evil" to be a thoughtful analysis in any context; be 
it Christian, Muslim, or anything else.
