Maybe Captain Kirk suspected they might crash the Starship Enterprise into the mother ship.
didnt Nomad kill a crewman that was kinda arab or middle eastern? or maybe the guy lived hell I cant remember.
LOL. Could also rub it in that "Khan" Noonien Singh also ruled the middle east in the future
An *oldie but a goodie*, IIRC, IMO.
Khan was from Turkministan, or maybe Tadjikistan, but certainly not Persia.

... there was a FR thread about how a Muslim would know where to face to pray in orbit.
Muslim in orbit? Reminds me of the joke:
"Why are there no Muslims on Star Trek?"
Answer: Because it's in the future.

From the rest of the story.
President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered: ''It's because it takes place in the future.''
The newer Star Trek corrected this omission of Islam, by introducing the Borg.
'Sides, all their engineering talent is tied up making bombs. ;~)
Food replicators put your neighborhood 7-eleven out of business long before the Federation made a move into deep-space. This is my theory as to why there aren't Muslims on Star Trek.
And, he was a bad guy who, after making trouble for everyone, died.
That and bad temperament and intolerance caused all muslims to wash out of Star Fleet Academy in the first semester.
In ST: Deep Space Nine, there was a character named Dr. Julian Bashir. The actual actor is Sudanese/Pakistani who lived in England.
In the year 2179, after 200 years of non-stop Jihadi terrorism, all the non-Muslim people of the world had had enough. They formed the Great Anti-Islamic Alliance and combined all their armed armed forces aginst the Sand-Nazis. They obliterated every mosque on earth, extermiated every Muslim, and nuked Mecca into a smoking crater. That effectevely ended all war on earth.
Actually, Ensign Akbar was one of those chumps in the red short that goes down on the landing party with Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy and Chekov. You know he will die within 5 minutes of setting foot on the planet.
"Damn it Jim, I am only a country doctor, not God!"
True dat! Resistance is "few-tile".
But the absence of a moon-worshipping religion that follows a pedophile follower of Satan (may he burn in Hell forever between 2 pigs) -- THAT's funny.
There has been an Iranian born person in space. Anousheh Ansari just landed after a ten day trip to the International Space station.
