I watched as much of his speech at Columbia University as I could.  It 
was really really boring.
And scary.
I started watching the speech because I was curious after reading the 
transcript of the interview of him at

In the beginning of his speech at Columbia he pretty much re-defined 
science as Discovering the Truth of Islam.  There would have been a lot 
of questions I would ask him,  if I weren't sure that the answer would 
be worthless.  His glowing words of peace and tolerance in the earlier 
interview would appear to be a ploy or at least a twisting of the 
meaning. His tolerance is for those who accept Islam.
Just what we need is another bunch of religious people with guns telling 
us what the truth is (or for that matter, any bunch of people with 
guns).  Another point to convince me that mixing religion with 
government is poison.
Yours Skeptically,
Jeff
