Can science understand the Muslim ?

When a crowd attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing several people

including the US ambassador, it was initially seen by some as part of a rising

tide of religiously-motivated violence.....

A small group of researchers will be watching closely.

They are part of a growing scientific discipline that is trying to identify the

neurological and biological mechanisms that lead people to commit such acts

with the ultimate goal of finding ways to stop them happening at all.

Last february news that US troops in Afghanistan had sent copies of the Koran

to be incinerated, sparked a wave of deadly protests that left 36 people dead

and more than 200 injured.

Now imagine that instead of employing public relations experts to advise

on the best strategy, US officials had a device that could advise them what to say,

generating a story based on a scientific understanding of the brain’s inner workings

to soothe tempers and calm the mood of the population.

It sounds like something from a science fiction blockbuster,

but is in fact the premise behind the Pentagon’s growing interest

in the neurobiology of political violence :

a relatively new field that combines neuroscience with more traditional

social science-based approaches to understanding human behaviour.

Not good enough ..

Why does a burning Koran trigger the Brain to Violence ??

Why does a film depicting the Hoy Prophet as a Womaniser :

Trigger the brain mechanism to Kill the percieved composers ?

Why does the Brain get so easily Incited ?

in the Muslim ??

How come the Hindu is so passive  ?
