NASA, Russia & the Muslim Community

December 26th, 2010 danny


A few weeks ago one of our astronauts lifted off on a Russian Soyuz rocket in Kazakhstan, along with two other “astronauts” (actually, the term “astronaut” was coined to identify space-persons from the United States – Russians are called “Cosmonauts”.

We are expected to stand and let physical or verbal “blows” bounce off us, without comment or action.
