Perception of Evolution in an Islamic Country: Personal Experiences
Scharaschkin, Tanya (2008) Perception of Evolution in an Islamic Country: Personal Experiences. Issues, 18(March), pp. 16-18.
Abstract
Since the 1925 Scope's trial there has been a long-standing conflict in the United States between science teachers and Fundamentalist Christians over the teaching of evolution in schools. Perhaps surprisingly, there are no analogous skirmishes in Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim-majority country in the world. Instead, religious views are so deeply engrained that scientific information seen to be in conflict with the Quran is simply disregarded. This article attempts to explore how evolution is viewed in Pakistan and the influence of religion on the perception of evolution.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
