Misnomer

Electrical engineering relies not on science or technology, but is rather a historical religious phenomenon that was a product of a certain cultural context and drew on Islamic notions of the Qur'an, Medieval interpretations of neo-Platonic philosophy and reacted against the formalized architecture of rabbinical teachings characterized by the Mishnah.

The previous sentence is every bit as accurate as the characterization of Kabbalah that, according to this article, Madonna and presumably others have cottoned onto.
