The Useful Idiot

Look, we aren't disparaging that fact that Muslims can't produce great minds and thinkers. http://forum.mpacuk.org/showthread.php?p=517904#post517904 A Poll that seems to have ONLY been publicised in Turkey has resulted in the top ten being Muslims. They Love it a MPAC UK. They lap it up!

Until..........

A hitherto largely unknown Turkish Islamic scholar, Fethullah Gülen, has been voted the world's top intellectual in a poll to find the leading 100 thinkers.

Gülen, the author of more than 60 books, won a landslide triumph after the survey - which is organised by the British magazine, Prospect, and Foreign Policy, a US publication - attracted more than 500,000 votes.

The top 10 individuals were all Muslim and included two Nobel laureates, the novelist Orhan Pamuk, who is also Turkish, at No 4, and the Iranian human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi, in 10th.

The result surprised organisers, who attributed it to a sustained campaign by Gülen's followers, known as the Gülen Movement, after Turkey's biggest-selling newspaper, Zaman, publicised the poll.

Prospect's editor, David Goohart, admitted to not having previously heard of Gülen and said his supporters had "made a mockery" of the poll. But he said the result flagged up significant political trends in Turkey.

Ohhhhh!!!! So you publicise the poll in a Turkish newspaper and you expect Noam Chomsky or Aldous Huxley to be voted-for????

LOL!!!!
