A chat with Prof. Dr. Pervez A Hoodbhoy, nuclear physicist and Professor of nuclear and high-energy physics in Pakistan, about the role of Islam and the impact on education in Islamic countries. We hear Professor Hoodbhoy’s opinion on inherent problems of fundamental religion and how it is possible to consolidate religion and science.

Lastly Professor Hoodbhoy clarifies the situation between him and Hamza Tzortzis. Professor Hoodbhoy states very clearly that he found Hamza's arguments unconvincing and was stunned when Hamza tried to tell the professor that he was wrong in his perception when discussing the professor's own field of science and area of expertise, the same way he tried telling biology Professor Myers he was wrong about embryology. This ends with the account of where he was so shocked by  the lie he heard that he called Hamza a liar and stormed out of the auditorium.

Due to the negative feedback and the violent threats I have refrained from publishing the entire interview out of fear of further repercussions.

Professor Hoodbhoy is also a social activist and is very outspoken about secularism and the involvement of fundamentalist religions in the different fields of science.

Hamza Tzortzis and Pervez Hoodbhoy on Religion & Rationality- A Discussion @ LUMS
The incident happens at 1:46:50


Hamza will never learn.
He expects the prof to state his position AND react to the points Hamza made a few minutes earlier. How could the prof know in advance what Hamza will say?
Hamza does not understand science - yet uses the terminology. He was previously shown his errors and continues to make the same, identical mistakes again and again.
Hamza expects others to follow his lead for some reason and acts like a little boy when the prof tears him a new one.
