NASA’s top goal is to praise Muslims for their scientific achievements

Story from Fox News. (H/T ECM)

Excerpt:

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his “foremost” mission as the head of America’s space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA’s orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

“When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, 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 dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering,” Bolden said in the interview.

Your tax dollars at work. Because you really don’t have a right to spend the money you earn. Besides – redistributing wealth makes your liberal betters feel good about themselves, and you wouldn’t want to be selfish and deprive them of their feelings of moral superiority, would you? Have a heart.

MUST-SEE: Police arrest Christians for distributing the gospel in Dearborn

I first spotted this story at Hot Air.

Here’s the video:

And read the account by Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi of Acts 17 Apologetics:

Yes, you heard it here first, folks. David and I, along with Negeen and Paul Rezkalla, were arrested and spent last night in jail. It is a long story which we will elaborate in full detail when we can, and we will post footage when the police give us back our cameras.

But to take the edge off your curiosity, here are some basics: Paul, David, Negeen, and I went to the festival to see and comment on the situation. Thankfully, we recorded every second of our activity at the festival. At one point, we came across a festival volunteer who seemed to take issue with us simply being at the festival. We could tell he had a problem with us, and so we asked “What are we doing wrong?” He said “Put the camera and microphone down, and I’ll tell you.” (By the way, there was more to this conversation, but when you see the footage, I think you’ll see I’m being fair in my summary.) So I obliged, handing the microphone to David and asking him to not record the man. I then approached him and said “No camera, no mic, tell me what we’re doing wrong”, he said “Get away from me!” (or something to that effect). Again, I obliged, and walked away.

About 20 minutes later, to shouts and cheers of “Allahu Akbar!” we were all being led away from the festival in handcuffs. From the brief description we were given by the police of why we were being arrested, it sounds like the festival volunteer said we surrounded him and didn’t give him an opportunity to leave, thereby “breaching the peace.” This is as blatantly false as an accusation can get.

Last year, security lied about us and we got kicked out of the festival. We had it all on tape, so we were able to vindicate ourselves. This year, a volunteer lied about us, and we got thrown into jail. But when we get our footage back, we’ll be able to vindicate ourselves again.

From Jihad Watch, we get Christian scholar David Wood’s report:

Muslims threatened to kill Nabeel and me if we showed up again at Arab Fest in Dearborn, so we went there yesterday. They didn’t kill us. Instead, police arrested us and we got to spend a night in jail (along with two others who were video recording us). Interesting city. I feel a documentary coming on. Title: “Welcome to Dearborn.”

Mother arrested for attempted murder of daughter

1 Comment

Story from CTV News. (H/T Blazing Cat Fur)

Excerpt:

A Montreal mother will appear in a provincial court Monday on charges that she tried to kill her teenaged daughter, in what police suspect could be an attempted honour killing.

[…]CTV Montreal’s Rob Lurie reported that the mother was apparently upset that her daughter had stayed out very late at night on Saturday.

“It appears that the mother allegedly stabbed her daughter in the head, face and shoulders,” Lurie reported from Dorval on Monday.

In a separate report on CTV News Channel, Lurie said the family is originally from Afghanistan and is relatively new to Canada.

Neighbours told CTV Montreal that the 19-year-old victim sometimes wore a hijab when leaving the house, while not wearing a hijab on other occasions.

Lapointe said the mother will face charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon.

The secular left often says that we should not judge other cultures morally, and some say that there should even be a parallel system of justice for Muslims based on sharia law, as in the UK. After all, they say, who are we in the Judeo-Christian West to judge others? What makes us any better than them?
