What precisely is the greatest Muslim “contribution to science and engineering”?

The IED.

Is it our job to make the SOB’s in Washington feel good?

Islam worships the Moon God. Evident in Obama’s efforts to use NASA to build a relationship. Islam feels we blasphemed their God by walking on him when we landed and walked on the moon.

One of the goofier gods in the Egyptian pantheon (Which seems to be about the size of the Manhattan Phone Book), was Aapep, the Moon Snake.

Maybe they are trying to bring that guy back.

This is not to demean geniune contributions and publications, of course, like "Propagation of Detonation Waves in Infidel Tissue", "Commerical Aircraft as Demolition Media", and that titllating tome, "Internal Anatomy of the Female Goat".

...I think we are missing the point here (no pun intended)....

So how do you precisely increase the "esteem " of the mooslimb nations ?...

Answer...

give them the technology and capability so they can build and operate their own orbital systems and astronauts....

..and as an added benefit develop a multiple warhead ICBM capability.

Dr. Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."

Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors.

When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.” ---------

Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:

"Obama’s victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle.

Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface.

This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."


-People's Weekly World (PWW), official newspaper of the Communist Party, USA

Exactly my reaction. He cant run for re-election with this kind of stuff on the record. The MSM might not cover it now, but it will run ads that have clips of the Bolten interview. The truth will out and doom him.

I dont think he will run again.

That's a good answer. I also considered the Suicide Vest and the Iranian Nasr 1 cruise missile, coming soon to a a country near you, especially if you live in Tel Aviv.

This guy has GOT to go in 2012.

. . the poser Prez has to go before 2012 or at least, be recognized in full for the threat he is; and with a collective promise of all decent Congressional Leadership that they will do NOTHING to advance his agenda. . .NOTHING!. Make him a 'lame Duck'; at the very least. . .and be ready to do more, if/as necessary.

RE: What precisely is the greatest Muslim “contribution to science and engineering”?

I am quoting from Wikipedia in response to this question :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_in_medieval_Islam


“There are several different views on Islamic science among historians of science. The traditionalist view, as exemplified by Bertrand Russell, holds that Islamic science, while admirable in many technical ways, lacked the intellectual energy required for innovation and was chiefly important as a preserver of ancient knowledge and transmitter to medieval Europe.”

“The revisionist view, as exemplified by Abdus Salam, George Saliba and John M. Hobson holds that a Muslim scientific revolution occurred during the Middle Ages, an expression with which scholars such as Donald Routledge Hill and Ahmad Y Hassan express the view that Islam was the driving force behind the Muslim achievements, while Robert Briffault even sees Islamic science as the foundation of modern science.”

“The most prominent view in recent scholarship, however, as examplified by Toby E. Huff, Will Durant, Fielding H. Garrison, Muhammad Iqbal, Hossein Nasr and Bernard Lewis, holds that Muslim scientists did help in laying the foundations for an experimental science with their contributions to the scientific method and their empirical, experimental and quantitative approach to scientific inquiry, but that their work cannot be considered a Scientific Revolution, like that which occurred in early modern Europe and led to the emergence of modern science, with the exception of Ibn al-Haytham’s Book of Optics which is widely considered a revolution in the fields of optics and visual perception.”

Charles Krauthammer had devastatingly critical comments about that statement on FOX news yesterday.

Actually, I believe Iran might be interested in advanced satellite technology. They’d even be interested in acquiring technology to weaponize space.

Knowing this interest on their part, is NASA’s goal under Barack Hussein Obama now going to help them develop in this area ? (Maybe it’s part of his RE-SET program to make them love us ).
