He made quite a clumsy statement at a time when the tension between civilizations is growing. I disagree with any attempt to draw a line between Islam and Christianity by trying to prove that the former is more "irrational" than the latter.

...most students find out soon upon arrival at Harvard, student groups endowed with pillow money—from this newspaper to The Lampoon to Final Clubs—are the organizations with the greatest institutional strength, security, and draw. Without that legacy of luxury, an overwhelming majority of the 300 or so student groups at Harvard are forced to depend on the strained process of UC grants to remain functional; in total, groups received $208,282.91 last year, a paltry half of the $551,599.33 requested...
