NASA'S MISSION TO THE MUSLIMS
By Alan Caruba
NASA'S NEW MISSION & PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S COMMITMENT TO CATERING TO ISLAM: NASA'S MISSION
TO FIND A WAY TO REACH OUT TO THE ISLAMIC WORLD & ENGAGE MUCH MORE WITH PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM
NATIONS TO HELP THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR HISTORIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, & ENGINEERING
-- OBAMA'S LIES PORTRAYING ISLAM AS A PEACEFUL RELIGION & ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MANNER OF SCIENTIFIC
BREAKTHROUGHS -- SIGNALS OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S SUBMISSION TO ISLAM
FULL STORY:
I felt like this back in the days when the Watergate scandal slowly, painfully unraveled, revealing the most appalling
stupidity and criminality emanating from the Oval Office. From the night when the burglars were arrested in the
Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 17, 1972, to the day Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974,
Americans were forced to witness and endure something unthinkable.
The news that NASA Administrator, Charles F. Bolden, Jr., had been dispatched to the Middle East to fulfill what he
said was its “foremost” mission, “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” was so appallingly stupid that it defied any legitimate reason for NASA to exist.
The other mission objectives President Barack Obama charged Bolden with were to “re-inspire children to want to get
into science and math” and to “expand our international relationships.”
You need a bit of history to lend some clarity to this. NASA was the direct result of the Cold War scare, when the
Russians put Sputnik into orbit over the Earth in October, 1957, thereby demonstrating they had missiles powerful
enough to launch a nuclear attack on the American nation. It galvanized the U.S. government into passing the
National Defense Education Act in order to get more young Americans to go into the fields of science and
mathematics, and it prompted the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the purpose of
demonstrating that American scientists and engineers could create bigger and better missiles.
Muslims had nothing to do with it then and nothing to do with it now.
In February, 2010, President Obama proposed that NASA abandon its Constellation program. As the New York
Times reported at the time, it would involve abandoning “the rockets and spacecraft that NASA has been working
on for the past four years to replace space shuttles.” It would impose a mandate “that any future exploration program
will be an international collaboration,” not an American program.
NASA made news again in mid-June, 2010, when it was announced that Obama’s amended budget request would slash
$100 million from its operating funds in order to “spur economic growth and job creation along Florida’s Space Coast
and other affected regions.” According to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this somehow “revitalizes NASA and
transitions to new opportunities in the space industry and beyond.” How many NASA engineers and scientists will
now transition to jobs at Disneyworld?
Islam has not been “hijacked” by the likes of Osama bin Laden. Islam has always been about the conquest of the world,
and its greatest “scientific” breakthroughs since the 1980s have been the development of truck bombs and suicide
bombers who have attacked targets from Bali to London, Madrid to Manhattan.
Obama’s Cairo speech on June 4, 2009, was filled with the kind of lies that portray Islam as a peaceful religion and one
responsible for all manner of scientific breakthroughs from the invention of the magnetic compass to the printing of
books.
Neither is true. What is true is that the Chinese had developed the compass and Islam had resisted printing books for a
thousand years following its rise after 632 AD.
Those under the oppression of Islam did not contribute to or experience the rise of science and the arts, as both were
rejected as un-Islamic. Many forms of music, for example, were banned in Islam. While the West was producing Galileo,
Isaac Newton, Nicolaus Copernicus, Aristotle, Rene Descartes and Albert Einstein, not one single scholar of
comparable stature was produced in the Islamic world.
Contrary to Obama’s mission to reach out to Muslims, they "reached out" to the West and, in America, on September
11, 2001, destroyed the Twin Towers and attacked the Pentagon, killing some 3,000 victims.
Typical of the arrogance of Islam is the proposal to build a mosque within a block of ground zero in New York City!
Building mosques over sites held sacred to non-Muslims is a long tradition of Islam, from the mosque built over the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem, to the countless other mosques in converted Christian churches, Buddhist and Hindu
temples, as a demonstration of their intention to replace Western and Asian religions.
Permitting the building of the proposed New York mosque would signal submission to Islam.
Perverting and defunding NASA’s mission is evidence of Obama’s commitment to Islam.
