Pamela Geller: Muslims Cannot be Astronauts

Politics • August 2010 • Views: 2,980

Geller is at it again. She’s advocating bigotry over scientific innovation. Three Muslims were selected for NASA internships. One of the Muslims has this evil background:

Mr Rajab, 21, is an electrical engineering student at UAE University who is specialising in research into water-recycling systems that will be used in new Nasa spacecraft during the six week internship

He has a lot to offer, and will be a boon to NASA. But Gellar doesn’t see it that way. She sees his religion, and only his religion. And her twisted views of freedom mean that he can’t be a scientist if he’s a Muslim. Pathetic.

Pam Geller, the bigot of all bigots.

I created an LGF page about the students selected last July: NASA Ames Welcomes Summer Interns from United Arab Emirates.

Better not let her know that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan participate in Red Flag over at Nellis AFB. Here you can see the crescent flag of Turkey in the Nevada sunshine.

where does the new-found Muslim fascination with space come from? Is there something up there they are plotting to get their hands on??

Let's just give them the nuclear code while we're at it. It was not enough that we trained the 911 killers how to fly planes. Not enough the jihads come here and enjoy what America has to offer only to plan how to kill her. Hurry up Nov.2. Thats a first step.

Yet, networks still allow her on the air. Not just Fox, either.

Pam Geller, the bigot of all bigots.

I don't even think what she suffers from can be called Islamophobia... there needs to be a new category for it, like acute psychotic Islamomania or something.

But, hey, she's making money off spreading the fear & hate, right? It's so freaky how some people will pay money to have these assholes continue scaring the crap out of them. It's as if they enjoy it in some sick, twisted way.

Better not let her know that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan participate in Red Flag over at Nellis AFB.

Or that there are foreign Muslim military personnel at military bases all over the U.S. If you combine that with the American Muslims serving in the military and mosques on military bases and the Pentagon.... elected Muslim politicians at all levels of government, in sports, medicine, the arts... OMG TEH 5TH COLUMN!!1!!

Not to toot my own horn, but I have to say Geller's eyebrows fit my crazy eyebrows profile to a T.

Maybe I can get a research grant.

I used to go ' whodat ' when Geller's name was mentioned on LGF. Now in the past month I've seen her mug pop up more than once on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC, and this morning, C-Span BookTales.
She doesn't really interest me, but I am a little curious about her publicist. He/she's workin' hard for the money.

That's one over Photoshopped image. The out the smooth tool on her face so much it looks like she's made of wax.

How do you know she isn't made out of wax?

Green Infidel seems to have forgotten that we worship a moon god (if you look real close you can tell that the man in the moon is Muslim). It's all part of the 6th column we're establishing to simultaneously overtake America from space and on the ground. The entire solar system is in on it, with our moon god leading the charge. Soon we'll be the overlords of the entire cosmos. BWAHAHAHAHA!!

The "new-found" fascination with space is indeed odd. I mean, pfft, it's not as if there have been many Muslim scientists or anything, right?

From ISLAMIC INFLUENCE ON WESTERN ASTRONOMY:

Islamic astronomers did more than simply read Ptolemy. They provided astronomy with new mathematics. Their invention of algebra and trigonometry substantially changed the mathematical foundation of astronomy. They also questioned Ptolemy fundamentally. They created cosmological alternatives. However, they never questioned geocentricity.

Islamic astronomers were well known in the Christian Middle Ages. Copernicus (1543) mentions some in his De Revolutionibus, e.g. Ibn Rushd, al-Battani (his name I found 27 times), Al-Zarkali (mentioned 8 times), Thabit ibn Qurra, and al-Bitruji (latinized Alpetragius, died 1204 in Spain). The fundamental criticism on the Almagest by al-Tusi and others may have been instrumental in the work of Copernicus.

The revival of European learning which began slowly at the end of the 10th century, was strongly influenced by contacts with the Islamic world. These contacts, first a trickle and eventually a flood, radically altered the intellectual life of the West. They familiarized Europeans with the positional numerals and the zero. They acquainted European astronomers with Ptolemy’s Almagest. Its translation from Arabic into Latin in the 13. century, combined with the additional work of the Islamic scientists brought scientific astronomy to Europe. It familiarized Europeans with scientific thinking. It gave in the 13. century the initial impetus to European
astronomy.

As you can see al-Battani was quoted 27 times by Copernicus in his work De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium.
