And this is from the same country where in the 1960s, the religious leader issued a fatwa claiming that the world is flat. I wonder if they have tried to explain/justify that since?

I also understand that Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, better known as "Baghdad Bob," found employment as a TV news anchor in Abu Dhabi last year. Too bad we can't blame this on him.

I have not noticed any evidence of Islamic leaders ever acknowledging any error whatsoever, so I am guessing that this is not an issue for them.  Perhaps they are still teaching that the world is flat, or perhaps they may suggest that the flat-earth proclamation was 'misinterpreted' and was meant to convey a message pertaining to 'spiritual flatness".  Gee, I'm pretty good....maybe I could be a mullah? :-)

Slight problem....I believe in the true God, respect women with all of my heart, love scientific advancement and modern progression, and I simply don't care to interrupt my work several times every single freaking day to kneel down and beat my head against the ground   :-)

CNN should offer him a gig....he would fit right in   :-)
