Muslim students in Britain boycotting lectures on evolution

[roadrunner]

i don't see the big deal in not attending such lectures. it's one of the perks of being young and dumb.

it's probably not entirely true either.

Regardless of what you believe, as university students, one should have an open mind to new knowledge.

Even if you don't believe in evolution, no harm attending lectures to learn about something new.

I am pretty sure many student bunk classes.... But if Some Muslim not all... The number might be .01% of Muslim students .... But as they are muslim this matter was to be addressed by media that how backward and troubling MUSLIMS are....

NO doubt it is proven then human came from chimps...genetic codes have proved tht

No such 'proofs' exist. Humans do not 'came from' chimps. Commonalities in the genetic codes indicated a common ancestry, not that the chimpanzee is our source.

London: A growing number of Muslim students at a leading British university are avoiding lectures on evolution, saying it is contrary to the creationist ideas stated in the Quran.

Professors at the University College London, a leading multidisciplinary university, have expressed concern over the rising number of biology students boycotting lectures on Darwinist theories, which forms an important part of the syllabus, citing their religion, the Daily Mail reported.

These students include three trainee doctors in one of Britain's leading medical courses.

Muslim opponents to Darwinism maintain that Allah created the world, mankind and all known species in a single act.

According to Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest, every organism on earth is involved in a struggle for survival and some individuals of a species are better adapted than other individuals to their environment.

The individuals that are better adapted to their environment are most likely to survive and have a chance to reproduce, thereby passing on their useful adaptations to the next generation. Those who are less well adapted do not survive long enough to breed. These ideas formed the basis of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

Look at these lines in the article

Muslim students are boycotting citing there religion. They are boycotting, not bunking. They are boycotting specific lecture, not all lecture.

^^^^it doesnt say Muslim in that phrase.

he's right in that it's probably students looking for an excuse to not go to lectures, the media then following through its anti-islamic agenda.

I have taken a line, please read the article. The "biology students" is used for "Muslim Students who have enrolled to Biology".

Clever students. Cook up excuses not to attend lectures. Lets just endorse Rastafarianism and smoke all the pot we want.

 

[Fascist Indian <Liberal>]

It is stupid to boycott classes. Why not just go to lectures , just mug up what they teach and write it in the exams? You don't necessarily have to believe what they are teaching. They can retain their faith without bunking lectures.

Haha nice dude , and i think everyone doe this every time ,^^^^what u wrote above is the one of the proof that ancestors of humans were Chimps .

Highly opinionated news.. and those students that are avoiding classes are being stupid.
its education, you may learn from it. You dont have to believe it and find your faith "violated"just by listening to it then your faith was fickle in the first place.

 

[illusion8]

For a sec i believe you and this theory.... A question arises where the hell does those Chimps came from?????

Yeah and why chimps still exist around when they should have evolved into humans.
