When people relate America with being free it's the freedom to choose religion. That's true. In Indonesia bunch of muslim fanatics could just close a bar without asking proper law and stuff.

Anyway, don't listen to 'sermon,' just read the holybook[s] yourself.

Indonesia is one of the most liberal of the Muslim countries.

And Tarrak, my friend -- already in the 9th centuries Muslim philosophers and scientists established the fact that the Qur'an was written down by people. Not by Muhammad, and not by God, but by people who wrote down what Muhammad had said.

Therefore, the Qur'an could be wrong. And therefore, in the 9th century, when the Church was just beginning to slip into its decadence and revelry after having been granted power by the Carolingians, Islam determined that if there ever was any doubt to be expressed on the text of the Qur'an by scientific discoveries, then those discoveries and not the text of the Qur'an should get precedence.
