NASA now tasked with building Muslim "self esteem"...???

@SparklyKatie Said

Islam has contributed quite a lot to science if you didn't know.

@Charlemagne Said

Yes, you read that correctly. The head of NASA, Charles Bolden, had this to say in an interview with Al Jazeera:

?Bolden: I am here in the region ? its sort of the first anniversary of President Barack Obama?s visit to Cairo ? and his speech there when he gave what has now become known as Obama?s ?Cairo Initiative? where he announced that he wanted this to become a new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. When I became the NASA Administrator ? before I became the NASA Administrator - he charged me with three things: One was that he wanted me to re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, that he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.?

Since when is NASA in the business of helping members of any group "feel good"?

Just more sucking of Islamic cock...

Jesus.

f***ing.

Christ.

I feel like slamming my head into a goddamn wall.

@Charlemagne Said

There have been NO Islamic inventions or scientific discoveries since before the 17th century if you didn't know...


Which isn't the topic anyway, Nasa doesn't seem too concerned with how Jews, or Christians, "feel"...

Yeah, I agree with you! f*** THEM!!

Why does everything have to be the U.S.A.'s responsibility? It's a load of a** kissing crap! - One of which we will get no thanks for anyway; just like everything else.

@Wellard Said

Maybe because the U.S.A want to be/are supposed leaders of the world and unfortunately are the most powerful and influential country??.

I think its good to rebuild relationships with other countries. We need to promote more peace and less death. All these young men and women on both sides of this war leaving families behind its sad I really hope this President can make some of this happen I think he can though theres something special about that man
