I just had a horrifying thought.
Islam does a lot of moon-worship.
Would they try to sabatoge colonization thereof, or even worse, try to take it over politically?

Anything the U.S. plans to advance civilization would be met with their opposition, sort of like Al Gore and his crowd.

Islam does a lot of moon-worship. The months of the Islamic calendar begins at the New Moon .. (as do the Hebrew and Chinese calendars). It is true that unlike the Hebrew and Chinese calendars, the Islamic calendar is purely lunar.. but I'm not sure where the leap to "moon-worhip" comes in.
Lunar phases play a heavy role in Christianity as well. The official definition of Easter (Gregorian) was and still is: The First Sunday After The First Full Moon After The Spring Equinox. I don't think you could say Christians worship the moon, even though they rely on it for calculating Easter.

Islam does a lot of moon-worship. So, that means we would be building bathrooms on the face of their god right?

I kind of like the idea of Islamists worldwide seeing the moon in the night sky and realizing we have Americans on it. Just another reason for them to be ashamed.
