Why Won't Bush Speak To Her?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Saw a bumper sticker yesterday

One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshippers.

Seems to be an Islamic saying as when I did a google search, it came up with a bunch of islamic sites, but it is so true in so many aspects of society - not just the religious aspect.

At the risk of someone tracking my internet usage, I clicked on one of the sites that came up when I googled this. Seems this Muhammed guy is/was pretty smart.

Islam: On Education
Had'ith

An hour's contemplation is better than a year's adoration...To spend more time in learning is better than spending more time in praying; the support of religion is abstinence. It is better to teach knowledge one hour in the night than to pray the whole night...One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshippers...To listen to the words of the learned, and to instill into others the lessons of science, is better than religious exercises...The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr...The acquisition of knowledge is a duty incumbent on every Muslim, male and female...Who are the learned? They who practice what they know.

Muhammad

Ok, this seems to be more religious based than I wanted this post to be, but the "left wing fanatics" comment got me thinking about fanatics in general, and this seemed appropriate. oh, oh, better watch what I say or I'll be labeled as a terrorist pretty soon, so back to work for me now.
