Dear List,
WE live in a world of great tension between the West and Islam. Al-Queda
appears to have launched into a duel to the death with the West, and it
seems that the US intends to attack Iraq as soon as possible-a major change
in US policy

In light of this, what is the relationship-what should be the
relationship-between US Scientists and scientists in the Muslim world?during
the Cold War, US scientists and Soviet scientists were able to maintain good
working relationships. In fact, when Sputnik was launched, the reaction of
US scientists was to congratulate their Soviet brethren-a far cry from the
hysterical reaction of Western media.US scientists seem to have a good
working relationship with their Chinese counterparts, despite tensions
between the US and China. Indeed, American scientists are working in
China-and vice versa- today, despite spying allegations at Los Alamos.Does
the same situation exist re scientists in Muslim countries?Is there A
Christian perspective Christian scientists can bring to this issue?Does the
historical background of a thousand year "War of Civilizations" between
Christianity and Islam play any part in this, or is it irrelevant?
