By 1997, with the word out that NASA planned to land on Mars, bin Laden called for all Americans and Jews, including children, to be killed. That summer three of his operatives living in Yemen launched a little known threat against NASA, via the judicial system. They warn both NASA and the USA that the Yemeni people (of which bin Laden is a member and believes he can trace his blood line back to the time of Queen Sheba) own Mars and they have 3,000-year-old (Sumerian?) tablets to prove it. On July 24th of 1997 the Al-Thawn weekly newspaper reported the following:
"Three men, from Yemen have filed a lawsuit against NASA for landing on the red planet. They claimed that they own Mars and that their permission should have been sought by NASA before the US Pathfinder spacecraft landed on July 4. The Yemeni men, Adam Ismail, Mustafa Khalil and Abdullah al-Umari say, apparently with a straight face that Mars was the home of their ancestors thousands of years ago. The men want NASA to suspend releasing the results of any further explorations, and any information about the Martian atmosphere, surface or gravity, until the court case is over. In documents presented to Yemen's prosecutor general, the men claimed: "We inherited the planet from our ancestors who lived on it 3,000 years ago."
In reaction to this so-called "silly warning" the world, including NASA, sits back and laughs. As far as I know, no effort was made by NASA or the FBI to document the names and/or aliases that were used by these men. There have been no reports released to date, verifying their official connection to bin Laden either.

Their claim is based on the idea that a Chinese explorer found California before Columbus hit the East coast. The Chinese explorer had a muslim eunuch as a cabin boy and HE was the first to set foot in America thus making the new land Islamic by proxy.
If they want Mars they can have it, we ought to prepare a ship to take them there so they can institute their caliphate all over an unadulterated new planet.
American Muslim History
A Chronological Observation
By Fareed H. Numan (December 1992)
(Edited by Ishaq Zahid for islam101.com)
Unquestionably, Muslims have made an impact on the evolution of American society. Historically Muslims have made major contribution, e.g. humanities, the sciences, and art. They explored North America 300 years before the so-called “discovery” of the New World by Christopher Columbus. They used the Mississippi river as their access route to and from the continent’s interior. Here are a few glimpses of Muslim life in American History:
1178
A Chinese document know as the Sung Document records the voyage of Muslim sailors to a land know as Mu-Lan-Pi (America). Mention of this document is contained in the publication, the Khotan Amiers, 1933.
1310 Abu Bakari (Abu Bakar), a Muslim king of the Malian Empire, spearheads a series of sea voyages to the New World.
1312 African Muslims (Mandinga) arrive in the Gulf o Mexico for exploration of the American interior using the Mississippi River as their access route. These Muslim explorers were from Mali and other parts of West Africa.
1513 Pri Ries completes his first world map, including the American, after research maps from all over the world. The practicality and artistry of his map surpassed any from his time or before...

So when was Zakaria Sitchin translated into arabic? I bet it’s there somewhere...Mars belongs to allah.
I wonder if Sitchin knew the Queen of Sheba was Hatshepsut who had an affair with Solomon?
Stupid arabs.
Yeah, I’m sure there’s a connection. There’s a dipsh!t in Egypt who claims that Moses was Akhenaten, and that’s not an original idea. He has many titles out. He also claims that ancient Egyptians invented ballet. :’)
