Former NASA Director Says Muslim Outreach Push 'Deeply Flawed'

The former head of NASA on Tuesday described as "deeply flawed" the idea that the space exploration agency's priority should be outreach to Muslim countries, after current Administrator Charles Bolden made that assertion in an interview last month.
"NASA ... represents the best of America. Its purpose is not to inspire Muslims or any other cultural entity," Michael Griffin, who served as NASA administrator during the latter half of the Bush administration, told FoxNews.com.
Bolden created a firestorm after telling Al Jazeera last month that President Obama told him before he took the job that he wanted him to do three things: inspire children to learn math and science, expand international relationships and "perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering."

No, he lives in it.
FUBO
This guy is an embarrassment. Only a Muslim could even think of relating NASA to Muslims. Gawd how much longer with this usurper hold the office of President of the United States.
“NASA ... represents the best of America.”
NASA represents a gvt bureaucracy, only one involving space.
HANG ON A SECOND FOLKS!!!!!!!
HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!!
It is a well know fact that most Muslim’s heads are filled with space - empty space.
Give that NASA’s main mission is space exploration, then an outreach to Muslims might well be within their mission scope.

Obama an undercover agent for al-Qaeda (a.k.a. al-Qaida, al-Qa’ida)? He won’t secure or protect our border with Mexico....Obama orders dance classes, movie nights and bingo for illegal aliens, he is suing Arizona for Federal Law that he won’t enforce, Missouri has had and enforces these same laws....why is Obama not suing them? Something is mighty wrong with this picture.....the Muslim in our White House seems intent on getting rid of Americans.
I guess that NASA will now open relations with the Vatican and also reach out to Israel. Ya think? Can anyone name something that the muslims have contributed, in a positive sense, to society?
Didn’t any of y’all watch Battlestar Galactica in the 1970s? “There may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens?” Well, here’s the reality: the Klingons are the brothers of our very own earthly Muslims. A NASA outreach to Muslims now may prevent a devestating war with a technologically superior Klingon empire in another century or so. As such, it’s perfectly sound interstellar policy, and under the jurisdiction of NASA.
I mean, come on. Think ahead. All hail the Obamamessiah.
Coming soon, the ISS Sharia Law, looking for infidel alien races to behead and blow up.
I think NASA SHOULD be used as a form of outreach to Muslim countries...
A space station with a weapons platform containing nuclear-tipped missiles is an excellent outreach program.
So we’ll reach out our hand to the clenched fist and guarantee that space will be weaponized. Smooth move. Metallurgic technology was turned into scimitars, “vests” have been turned into bombs, commercial planes turned into guided missiles, soon we’ll see crude orbital rockets cobbled together to create EMP bombs overhead. Nothing good will come from this “outreach” to the 14th century minds bent on the destruction of their supposed “Great Satan”. I think sheep should have an outreach program for the wolves - see if that works. Take care of your sheepdogs!
“Obama told him before he took the job that he wanted him to do three things: inspire children to learn math and science, expand international relationships and “perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering.”
So apparently, space exploration/scientific research didn’t make the list.
If the Muslim scum put even a hairline scratch on the foundational stones of even one of the great Western Catholic Cathedrals, their gaudy shoebox should be immediately vaporized by the USAF.
