NASA's new mission

[MG1968]

is building the self-esteem of Muslims

Charles Bolden, head of NASA, tells Al Jazeera that the "foremost" task President Obama has given him is "to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." Thus, NASA's primary mission is no longer to enhance American science and engineering or to explore space, but to boost the self-esteem of "predominantly Muslim nations."

what a bunch of claptrap. 2012 can't come soon enough and if we don't elect someone else, I sincerely hope the Mayans are correct.

what we need now are some of OE's barf photos.

Thanks for nothing. Especially in the last thousand years. KMA.

(except for the oil, that Westerners have to pump out of your holy grounds and then refine for you.)

It is called Dhimmitude. Look it up.

this is absolutely absurd

Muslims invented Algebra and translated a bunch of Greek texts. It has been all down hill after that.

Perhaps he isn't fond of becoming an Imam.

Guy must not be a big fan of Obama's NASA plans/direction...

It sounds like somebody got way into the interview he was giving...

A big BRAVO SIERA on that. The golden age of islam is only a fig newton in the imagination in the minds of those indoctrinated by islamic propaganda;

Islam in space

All these things were revealed to the prophet Mohammed during his lifetime from 570 to 632 CE (Common Era). This is astounding! At a time when Europe had sunk into the chaos of the dark-ages, a time when the great civilizations of Asia were reaching their peaks, at a time that the great South American Mayan civilization was disintegrating: Allah had informed humankind of the reality of life on other planets! Only now, almost 1400 years after the death of Mohammed, has the truth of these passages been confirmed by modern astronomical observations.

(Is that where Louis Farrakhan gets his wacko ideas?)

Muslims got arabic numerals from the hindus of Afghanistan and India (including what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh) during which time there was the most brutal campaign in the history of mankind, hundreds of millions were slaughtered, raped and enslaved. (Inclucing up intuil the 21st century.)

The Persian Al-Khwarizmi may have been converted to islam by force and may have been credited with the invention of algebra but it was pre islamic Babylonians who invented algebra. (This probably came down through the Zoroastrians, possibly the oldest religion on Earth, the Magi who appeared at the birth of Jesus were undoubtedly Zorastrians.)

Islam?s Indian slave trade Part I in Islam?s genocidal slavery:

The cost of the Muslim invasions is massive in lives, wealth and culture. Estimates suggest that 60-80 MILLION died at the hands of Muslim invaders and rulers between 1000 and 1525 alone (ie over 500 years-the population FELL). (Lal cited in Khan p 216) Impossible you think? In the war of Independence of Bangladesh, 1971, the Muslim Pakistani army killed 1.5-3 million people (mainly Muslims ...) in just 9 MONTHS. (Khan p 216). The world looked the other way—but don’t we always when it’s Muslims committing the violence!

Likewise the muslims destroyed far more clasical Greek (and other) literature than they copied, by far.







We need more bacon haters in space!!










Shariah-Compliant Finance Advisor Picked by Obama as White House Fellow :: Islamist Watch

Obama is a muslim trojan horse and anyone who can't accept that needs their head examined.

Obama gets list of top Muslim Americans - The Denver Post

In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.

The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.

"It was mostly under the radar," Williams said. "We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."

More on the 'muslims invented algebra' claim:

In 770, an Indian scholar brought two highly important mathematical works to Baghdad eg Brahmasiddhanta (Sindhind to Arabs) by the great 7th century Indian mathematician Brahmagupta –a mathematician and astronomer –which contained early ideas of algebra.

The second manuscript contained a revolutionary system of denoting number and the concept of zero. In the 9th century, Muslim Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi took this work, combined it with Greek geometry (The Greek contribution in science, medicine, philosophy is huge), to become what we call today as algebra.

Indian numerals were used by al-Khwarizmi in algorithms (a Latinized version of his name) to solve certain mathematical problems. Hence Muslims may have contributed but they certainly did not discover either zero or algebra and our so-called ‘Arabic Numerals’ are actually Indian (Hindu) Numerals.(Khan p 202)

In Brahmagupta’s Khandakhadyaka (Arkanda), Arabs first became acquainted with a scientific system of astronomy in the 8th century. Books of medicine, toxicology, philosophy, chemistry and more were also taken into the Islamic world and translated.

Indian mathematics became wide spread. Even a Spanish Muslim (11th century) praised the Indians for their superior knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, pharmacology, chemistry... .(Khan p 203-4). (Note Mayans also developed zero long before Islam entered the world!)

Charles Krauthammer nails it.

"This is a new height in fatuousness," Krauthammer said. "NASA was established to get America into space and to keep is there. This idea to feel good about their past and to make achievements is the worst combination of group therapy, psychobabble, imperial condescension and adolescent diplomacy."

"If I didn't know that Obama had told this, I'd demand the firing of Charles Bolden the way I would Michael Steele," he continued. "This is absolutely unbelievable."
