# Yes, but
"extreme right wing christian research" doesn't form the basis of science in America, or any western democracy. It's just a bunch of fringe loonies.

Whereas extreme loony Islamic science is mainstream in countries like Egypt and Syria, and compulsory in countries like Iran.

Again, there is a massive difference between Western democracies and Islamic theocracies or despotisms.

The international students I know from several countries including iran, indonesia and quatar claim that this is not what they were taught back at home.
