Dr. Moore answered this in his lecture.[/quote]
Since you're all about Dr. Moore, let's shed a bit more light on his involvement in the business of Islamic embryology.

A long time ago, in the 1980s, Dr. Moore was invited by the Embryology Committee of King Abdulaziz University to produce a special 3rd edition of his most successful book "The Developing Human" specifically for use by Muslim students in Islamic Universities. He was paid by the Saudi royal family for the use of his name, and for no real additional work.

The textbook he delivered to the Saudi Universities that commissioned the work is titled, "The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology with Islamic Additions." http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b6147.html  The base textbook was work that Moore had completed years before. He did nothing new for this new edition. The “Islamic additions” are actually the work of an Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, so it alternates chapters of standard science with Zindani's "Islamic additions". (here's the review of the book, if anyone is interested)

 Reviewer: Stop Spamming
While based on an original embryology textbook, this edition is a disgrace to any medically educated student. All pages describing reality have been removed and in its place Koranic texts have been inserted by a Muslim. The resulting book does not describe embryology as experienced all over the world, but the wishful thinking of a religious group.

This book does not appear on Dr. Moore's CV and is not available outside the Islamic region, such as a Western public library or Amazon.

Now, what is so special about the book? Here is what the publisher, Abu Qasim Publishing House, Saudi Arabia, has to say:

[i]Now available! Numerous Muslims have constantly referred to the work of acclaimed embryologist Keith L. Moore. Here is his complete original textbook (third edition), superbly updated with the "Islamic Additions" (commentary, relevance, Qur'an and Hadith references, and more) of [b]Shaykh Abdul-Majeed A. Azzindani of Saudi Arabia.

Moore's popular textbook is written primarily for students of medicine, specializing in clinically oriented embryology. Shaykh Azzindani, a reputed scholar of Islam, has been interested in the same phenomenon on but from the perspective of the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith. The two collaborated, with other scientists, in the relation of the two foci of thought. The volume herein conclusively shows that the information contained in the Qur'an and Sunnah is not only consistent with modern scientific discoveries in the field of embryology but also it is a fore-runner by some fourteen hundred years. [/i]

Now, who is Mr. Azzindani, this reputed scholar of Islam, the beacon of knowledge, who interspersed Dr. Moore's writing with Islamic bits?

He is the founder and head of the Iman University in Yemen, head of the Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood political movement and founder of the Commission on Scientific Signs in the Quran and Sunnah, based in Saudi Arabia.  (Yes, they really do call it that.) This is the outfit dedicated to underwriting the work of scientists who need a Ferrari or a second home badly enough to write what Al-Saud wants to see written, and in the process, convincing gullible westerners that Quran is a scientific miracle.

Interestingly, the acknowledgments for the book recognize a number of “distinguished scholars” who supported the book with time or money. And number 6 on the list is Saifullah (Sword of God) Shaykh Osama bin Laden.

What else is Mr. Azzindani famous for? I tell ya, finding the cure for AIDS. No kidding.  Yes, it's another case of "I have a cure but I'm not gonna tell you what it is."  You can read for yourself:

He also discovered a scientific proof of why women can't talk and think at the same time.  I don't time to post a link but it's all over the web.

So, you still think Dr. Moore omitted all traces of this work from his CV because he is...hounded by Islamophobes?

Nah.  The man is embarrassed.  I bet he thinks "damn be the day I accepted this commission.  What do I need that money for, anyway? Damn, damn, damn."
