pathic attack must have been supported by the education they
received. They resorted to the concept of "natural selection,"
which they had learned in school, in order to resolve problems
with classmates whom they thought had excluded them. It is by
no means surprising that people "educated" to believe such false
ideas as that life is a struggle to the death, that one has to fight to
survive, that the strong crush the weak, that human life is of no
value, and that human beings are no different from animals,
carry out attacks that they link to natural selection.
The view of life they acquire as a result of their education is
the one imposed on people by Darwinism. People who learn
about natural selection's ruthless competition in textbooks and
in class, and who imagine this is the only way to survive, are able
to regard such hatred and ruthless enmity as legitimate. They
will therefore be capable of perpetrating similar actions.
However, when educated in the light of values taught by
the moral values of the Qur'an, rather than of dogmas such as
"natural selection," young people-–and indeed all society—will
seek to be forgiving, to feel love, affection and friendship, and to
ensure peace and peacefulness rather than hatred and conflict.
The solution to moral degeneration lies in the intellectual over-
throw of the philosophy that leads to it and its replacement by
the moral values commanded by the Qur'an.
