     This reminds me of a quote from an early islamic leader (whose
name I cannot for the life of me recall).  Apparently, during the
planning of a book burning party, he was asked which materials needed
to be spared from the flames.  His response was something to the
effect of, "If it refutes the Qu'ran, it is heretical, and must be
burned.  If it supports the Qu'ran, it is superfluous, and must be
burned."
