102              SLANDERS ON MUSLIMS IN HISTORY

            forged," as revealed in the verse:
               We revealed to Moses: "Throw down your staff."
               And it immediately swallowed up what they had
               forged. So the Truth took place and what they did
               was shown to be false. (Surat al-A'raf, 117-118)
               As we can see, when people realized that a spell had
            been cast upon them and that what they saw was just
            an illusion, Pharaoh's magicians lost all credibility. In the
            present day too, unless those who, under the influence
            of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims
            under their scientific disguise and spend their lives
            defending them, abandon their superstitious beliefs,
            they also will be humiliated when the full truth emerges
            and the spell is broken. In fact, world-renowned British
            writer and philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge, who was
            an atheist defending evolution for some 60 years, but
            who subsequently realized the truth, reveals the position
            in which the theory of evolution would find itself in the
            near future in these terms:
               I myself am convinced that t the  theory  of  evolution,
               especially the extent to which it's been applied, will be
                                                              w
               one  of  the  great  jokes  in  the  history  books  in  the
               future.  Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and
               dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the
               incredible credulity that it has. 21
               That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will
            soon see that "chance" is not a deity, and will look back
            on t the theory of evolution as the worst deceit and the
            most  terrible  spell  in  the  world.  That spell is already
