And why is it OK for Iran to build nuke plants, but not us?

The cosmology of the Qur’an is obviously geocentric, and as a consequence, Al-Azhar University, which Obama singles out for praise in his speech, still teaches Ptolemaic astronomy.

Amazing.

If 'Muslims' invented everything how did the Library of Alexandria, built by Alexander the Great (356 BC – 323 BC), fill it with all those scrolls of knowledge from around the 'known' world? After all that was almost 900 YEARS before Mohamed and his Islam came along.

Maybe the Library of Alexandria was filled with Comic Books and Porn Magazines?

It was in fact the Muslims that torched the Library of Alexandria.

many of the (mostly unpronounceable) names of major constellation stars are Arabic...

They were good at naming things.

Sounded good to him and all that did not know history.

I have noticed that BO tells a lot of whoppers but is never called on them.

His lies are repeated and published and soon become the new history.

Sort of like if you tell a lie often enough it will eventually appear to be a truth . BHO has learned his leasons well.

In the interest of historical accuracy, your statement is not quite true: many of the (mostly unpronounceable) names of major constellation stars are Arabic...

From the article: Ptolemy's book was translated from Greek into Arabic, and "Most of the names for the brightest stars are of Arabic origin, because the names of these stars given in Ptolemy’s textbook were never translated from the Arabic. "

Islam is all about lying and O is the perfect student.

THAT would be a great tagline!

Obama may have been enrolled at Columbia but did he even attend classes?

Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.

Wayne Allyn Root, the Libertarian Party’s vice president, told WND he graduated from Columbia the same day as Obama with the same major, yet he never spoke to a single former Columbia student or faculty member who remembered Obama.

The One’s confusion may have something to do with liberals replacing History with Social Studies as part of a plan to dumb people down so that they would accept Fabian Socialism and globalism. Apparently, it worked in his case. He doesn’t understand the history of Western civilization.

Today we call that schizophrenia.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams; And on My servants and on My handmaidens, I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; And they shall prophesy. Acts 2:17-18

Muhammed very well may have been schizophrenic (and no, I don't believe he was divinely inspired), but paraphrasing using your clinical assessment, should it read "And your young men shall have schizophrenia"?

Smart ass answer: That’s above my pay grade.

Slightly less smart ass answer: It’s not crazy if everyone is doing it.

Somewhat serious answer: We call it schizophrenia today, I don’t know what we’ll call it then.

Serious answer: The essential feature of schizophrenia is a disconnect from reality. If what the sons, daughters, servants, handmaidens, etc. see is tracking reality, they aren’t crazy.

What, exactly, reality is is left to the reader as an exercise...
