I love religious nutcases, I really do. Instead of just saying
outright that this was bogus gobbledygook, Akbar Alami (geesh, the
name alone is bad enough) has to "scientifically" debunk the blinking
eye nonsense.

Besides, if the Iranian president really had a mystical light
surrounding his beaming presence, delivering a speech and focusing on
how many eyelids are blinking in the audience at the same time would
be a cakewalk.

Of course, most probably had their eyes opened in sheer astonishment
and amusement of this 7th century whack-job and couldn't close their
mouths either.

As for the Prophet Muhammed, there was only darkness, and it continues
today across the Islamic world.
