    Nah, It's real.
    Pretty surprising considering that the Arabs and the Persians discovered that the Earth travels around the Sun a long time ago, while the West was living thought the Fall or Rome and the Middle Ages.

    I guess the guy is discrediting his heritage and his people's own most brilliant men of all time.

    If the Earth does not rotate, how quickly do all the stars and galaxies whizz around us?

    Oh WOW ! Some more wisdom from some crackpot moslem cleric. Fuck them all. These ASSHOLES are destroying whatever hope there was for a peaceful world.

    These ASSHOLES are morons. And what does that say about the DICKHEADS who listen to them ?

    You may be hope for a peaceful world if you find some peace.

    WRONG ! The Greek " Atomists " first figured out the Earth revolved around the sun way back in 500 to 600 BC. Also said ATOMISTS had a viable understanding of chemistry and much more. They accurately measured the size of the Earth and the distance from the Earth to the moon way back then. Check out the Greek " Atomists ".

    It is not a contest who was first oscar. Fact is arabs and persians knew a lot about astronomy already before they adopted the islamic religion.

    Now, I think people that lived in north west Europe also knew a lot about astronomy, centuries before the ancient greeks wrote down their astrological knowledge (stonehenge is a good example). Does this takes away from the astronomical knowledge of the ancient greeks? So please don't make it in a pityful competition, well you can if you insist on doing that. But there's little point :p

    Of course the cleric doesn't account for the fact that the airplane is already moving as fast as the rotation just sitting on the ground. It is this individuals reason that is suspect, not his history.

    Unlike Asmo and thedope: I do not have some illusion that finding peace within myself in any way whatsoever changes the cruelties, torture, murder, wholesale slaughter going on in our world. I WAS a United States Marine. ...Oscar

    PS: Yes I no longer am one and do not pretend to be one.

    You're jumping to conclusions about me (and thedope) again. It doesn't solve other peoples lack of peace perhaps, but it definitely doesn't add to the peace either. Certainly not your own peace. You make yourself sound upset and angry because of what one guy proclaims. You're not even sure how many people will take his words as the truth. Yet, you make it sound like the whole muslim population will adopt what he says. This is what we are trying to get through to you.

    Well, POTUS Obummer does not seem to even understand the difference between ancient Persians and moslems. And why does he comment on the CRUSADES as an excuse for what FUNDY moslems are perpetrating in and on our world today. Mayor Gulliani has this guy pegged right. Obummer does NOT love America !

    Well that is because you chose to believing peace comes from binding someone to it. Your fight is not your peace.
