File It Under ROTFL -- He Can figure Out How To Get Into Space But Not Out of Islam

The AP has reported that a Malaysian doctor plans to "honor the rituals of the faith of Islam" even while hurtling through space. Apparently, this is something new.

It reads:

"A Malaysian doctor who will spend the last days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in space has vowed to follow the rituals of his faith even as he hurtles around Earth at 17,000 mph."

Comments: If you ask me, anyone gullible enough to follow such a dangerous and silly religion is already in space. You can find on the homeschool blog a sufficient warrant (the contrary is logically impossible) for this claim.

How could a man with a Ph.D. fall for this superstitious and contradictory nonsense? If "Allah" is utterly unlike any creature, as the Quran claims, then Allah cannot be responsible either or the creation or the Quran. Can't have it both ways fellas. As they say, "This ain't rocket science." Perhaps Muslims shake their babies, causing mild concussions and eventually brain damage, leading to faith in Islam. Who knows.

What we do know is that anyone who takes logic seriously does not take Islam seriously (unless he lives in an all Muslim neighborhood). This rather makes the point on two counts. You can fill in the blanks here.

If the "Meccanaut" returns safely, the Muslims will praise the fictitious Allah. If his rocket inexplicably explodes into many tiny bits, and burns up, scattering his person from here to Alpha Centauri in a glorious but ominous intergalactic fireball, they will blame it on the decadent western technology, and call for a new Jihad against Silicon Valley. Unholy western transistors, and Quran-despising polymers were responsible.

WWMD? Water the camels. Issue the Fatwa! Sound the alarm. And bum rush Bill Gates.

What? It says, "Anything Goes."
