We're all familiar with that riddle, Why are there no muslims in Star Trek? Because it takes place in the future ta-da-DUM Besides, I'm not much of a Trekkie but the episodes I have seen I don't recall any religion being mentioned at all, though Mr. Spock's salute comes from an Orthodox Jewish ritual performed while reading specific prayers and I understand that the Vulcan "language" is loosely based on a Hundu dialect. Once again we see islamists sticking their noses where no mohammedan has gone before. Hey, Mr Mghul maybe you should be featured in an upcoming episode where the crew of the Enterprise tries to figure out how to pull your head out of Uranus. Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk

there's 1/4 billion muslims in the world unfortunately. Let them develop the brains to create their own story characters.

Besides. Wouldn't that be Idolatry???

Yes, I’d like to see an Islamic hero who incorporates into Islam the Japanese ritual of seppuku (honorable, stylized suicide) as being mandatory WHENEVER a Muslim has a bad thought about a non-Muslim. Now THAT would be something to celebrate and would be heroic.

Until that happens...NO MUSLIM HEROES...only Muslim villains.

It was revealed that portions of the Koran pre-dated the life of Muhammed. How about a DA VINCI CODE where it’s revealed that their entire religion is a fraud? Oh, wait. They’d bomb theaters and murder the creators of such a film. It’s Christians that are the easy targets.

Notice the fake fear of backlash card. They kill us and yet they are the ones with legitimate fears?

I did see one story this week worthy of a verified act of Muslim heroism. Muslim gunmen boarded a bus in Africa and asked the people on the bus to separate Muslims and Christians. The Muslims spoke up and say, “No. You will have to kill us all.”

If Muslims did that worldwide, there’s never be another Islamist attack. The mother who saw the pipe bombs would speak up. The families of the suicide bombing would be ostracized instead of celebrated. The dead bodies of these murderers would be cremated (an unIslamic burial) with no one willing to perform their eulogy.

Behave heroically Muslims and then we will celebrate you.

Well the politically correct bent of the age is such that it’s possible we would see it happen, should no other trend appear and intervene (and it yet could).

I try to see it all through the light of God, who will, if we are not very careful to avoid noticing it, witness to us something of Himself right in the middle of the worst depravity, just to keep the devil knowing who’s boss.

A Muslim hero would do some very un-Muslim things. In real life we can get around this via taqqiya, the ability to go Calvinball when needed. However when imams see it, they may be less open minded. It could be the fear of a fatwa keeps this from occurring.

If I as a Christian were a cartoonist and were posed with this request and I had the power and boldness to do whatever I wanted... well let’s see what I might do. I think I’d have the Muslim resign Islam and become Christian after catching hell from imams for trying to do good to unbelievers, and then hearing a passing preacher talk about the opposite attitude being found in Christian faith. Then this ex-Muslim would save the lives of millions of grateful Muslims who would become Christian too... Yes, I would.

"A white guy called Luke, born on a planet named after a city in overwhelmingly Muslim Tunisia (Tataouine inspired Tatooine), that we can all believe."

And I believe the operative line in the movie went something like:

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

By bringing a Muslim to Star Trek or Star Wars

Ah yes, no Jews or Christians in Star Wars but by will of Obama and NASA put some muslims in it, by all means.

There are many real life Muslim heroes.
These are the brave men and women that leave the cult of Satan and death in exchange for Christ and eternal life.
They may face a death sentence from former associates and family, but like honey badger, 'they don't care'. They have found something infinitely better. They have left darkness for light.

The little drama queen probably never saw JJ Abrams’s Lost, which featured the Muslim Syed, well after 9/11. And Syed was one of the coolest characters in all of JJ’s works.

Watch the movie, Traitor, from Overture Films, 2008, and starring Don Cheadle and Samir Horn, an American Muslim who goes undercover from the CIA into the heart of a very threatening terrorist organization, but is thought to be a traitor by the FBI.

GREAT movie.

There are Islamics serving in the US Military and the intelligence agencies like this man, who know full well what the Jihadists represent, and themselves have escaped from them and are willing to fight them to the death.

Those people have already stood up and are doing their duty as Americans.

The problem is that there are:

1) A large number who are complacent and will not stand up.

2) Many who themselves are afraid to stand up.

3) Others who will not stand because in their hearts they sympathize with the Jihadists.

4) Some who openly support the Jihadists.

Ferreting out who is who is the issue.

And until we know we can do that, we simply have to stop the flow of more into the country. And we also have to devise a methodology for separating the god from the ill with those already here.

I believe adherence to, and devotion to Sharia Law (which is incompatible with the US constitution, and is a societal law which proscribes punishment for civil actions), could be one of the keys to doing so.

If a Mosque teaches Sharia Law, it is no longer religious and should be closed down.

If an individual adheres to, or believe people live their day to day life according to Sharia law, unless they are willing to renounce it, we should consider renouncing their citizenship and deport them to a nation that does adhere to Sharia Law..

Why is it Muslims don’t make good movies about Muslims? Why don’t Muslims create anything that might have some value to the world.

Trying to convince Muslim kids that Islam is a good religion is child abuse.

If and it's a HUGE "IF", a Muslim character was introduced into Start Trek or Star Wars, hardly ANYONE ONE would go to that movie. Besides which, what would a Muslim character look like, since there are Muslims of all races, nationalities, and types?

The author of this piece is an idiot. Why doesn't he condemn the TERRORISTS, instead of sounding like a backward child looking for recognition?

Lucas already did, they’re called Sand People, or Tuscan Raiders for the PC.

The only religious beliefs I can recall from the show:

Precious little from the Original Series, Some stupid planet had proto-christians worshiping the Sun “Not the Sun” Uhura eventually figures out but the SON of God, I’m surprised Roddenberry allowed that.

Klingons with stupid Klingon beliefs.

DS9 had Bajorans worshiping the stupid aliens that lived in the wormhole. And slave races worshiping the Changelings cause they’d been bred too.

A few other aliens, usually fanatics or primitives.

A GD muzzie would be way out of place even for Federation libtards.

Between the various ST shows, only once was a specific Earth religion assigned to a character. Harry Kim on Voyager was a Catholic, but it was not mentioned much, especially after the first season. The same thing was used in Falling Skies with Lourdes Delgado, also a Catholic. Of course, she gets mad at God and that’s the end of what might’ve been an interesting challenge for the writers.

In the original Star Trek series, there was an episode, “Bread and Circuses”, that did not address a denomination but a belief in the Son (which the landing party thought the natives worshiped the sun). The final dialogue was a nod to the Messiah repeating His earthly visit on another planet. There was a Ray Bradbury short story, “The Man”, they probably stole that idea from.

Who cared about races or religions when there was an entire universe out there to explore and discover?

Imagine, no countries

Imagine, no religion

...People living day to day

All religions are not equal because at least some of them represent a false (even if well intentioned) path.

There’s not been a Christian super hero. They’ve all been secular characters.

I suppose a muslim super hero would have a hard time saving the world if he has to pray 5 times a day.. Imagine the bad guy is coming to fight the muslim superhero but it happens the same time he has to pray. There goes the world, destroyed!

Merry Christmas!
