for exemple Albert Einstein was more Muslim and eligible than me  or Mr. Pasteur or Mr. Edison, because of their reachings and their additions to the whole humanity...
so for me Islam imperatively orders to advancing and evolving, still insisting to stay at 10th century or so is one of biggest sin...
we as Muslims must get over of this formalism and get to the work for our own sake.
real belief is in the hearts not in the prayers...
i am against to this "prayer time" at the universities asked by some so-called Muslims, nothing more important than education and progress...

BigK,
I understand what you are saying but the Muslim students and others that are pushing the envelope in our society have a vastly different attitude and demeanor than you.
A casual look at their chat forums will tell you that.
Some of it is our fault as well because we have bent over backwards for too long to accomodate their sensibilities and I think that has indicated to them a weakness in our culture that can be exploited to be subservient to their view, that Islam is supreme and therefore entitled.
Our Universities and government should have also made it much clearer from the outset that our society is secular and religion of any type plays no part in the governence of the Universities unless perhaps it is a seminary.
Old pertinent saying; When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Cheers.
