I think Islam is still pro-science or at least pro-parts of it. Not really, the academic output and spending in Muslim countries fall way below the rest of the world. Obviously there are individual Muslim scientists who are exceptional but they go and work in the west. I read somewhere that there are more mosques than libraries on university campuses in Pakistan which gives an indication of their priorities. Nature ran a special issue on Islam and Science a few years ago and it's pretty damning. If you're interested www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7115/full/444026a.html
