What contribution?  Virtually nothing!!

They are the least innovative people in the world.

That was utter insanity.... like much of what Obama does!

Actually, there was a "golden age" of Islam,
but it ended about a thousand years ago.
In the first few centuries after Muhammad,
the Muzzies went around conquering and plundering and looting.
With the gold and silver they looted,
they bought some of the finer things in life,
like architecture and scientists.
Our numbering system "Arabic numerals" came from Islam,
as did algebra, and marching bands.
But they've made very few positive contributions in the last thousand years.

Nah, all Leftist revisionist history.
Most everything islum claims as their discoveries, was cultures usurped/conquered, science was already in the process of discovery.
It's akin to claiming Christians invented the ford assembly line just because Henry was Christian.

Then comes algebra, and this claim, as well as the others, is utter nonsense. A Muslim, Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa, is often described as the originator of algebra. But Abu Ja'far lived between 780 and 850 AD; algebra initiated in ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Athens, 2,500 years before Abu Ja'far was born.

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.

See and that's the problem right there Solar. His job is not to do muzscum outreach. His damn job is to plan and run our space exploration program. Once again, we the taxpayers are paying these people, who like this President and the Congress (thus far) simply are NOT doing their damn jobs.

And yet they keep collecting a paycheck, there is never any accountability.

Case in point, while one could point at Benghazi as an example of this. Here's a better one.

The C.P.S. (Cincinnati Public School system) lost a billion, yes a billion with a b, dollars of taxpayer funded, levy money.

Just poof gone, no  one knows what happened to it.

Anyone go to jail when it was learned they'd had a hand at mishandling large sums of cash? Nope.

Anyone get fired? Nope.

And, the same people, then had the nerve to put yet another further levy on the ballot. (Schools prior to issue two's passage could do so whenever they want in Ohio)

That's the real problem, people who are still able to retain their employment in government, even though they're simply and clearly not doing the job they were elected/appointed to do.

Even though, they've acted in a fashion which breaks our law.

There's simply no accountability. And it's going to stay that way too, so long as we the American Citizen's, allow it to go on by continuing to elect the same old, same old, dimwits and rinopubes.

No. He is not a Muslim. He would never put in the time to become a Muslim. He isn't a Christian. He went to a "Christian" church because it was politically expedient. He does however have a soft spot for Islam and pretends that he identifies with it. What he identifies with is Islam's anti American views because Obama always sees America as the problem.

True!!   And that is basically what the video surmised.

I have always felt that Obama is an atheist with a heart for the muslims who he THINKS he understands.  Not!!!   He understands islam no better than he understands christianity.  He is a godless, paranoid idealist.  And he will never believe he is wrong.

The "Rev. Wright" pastors a pseudo-christian church which espouses hate and venom.

Yep, I don't think there's evidence to support his muscum status, nor do I believe he's a practicing Muscum, but like me, I was raised Christian, and even though I do not practice the religion, or fully agree with it premise, I fully support and espouse it's tenets as to our culture.
He is no different, he was raised to believe Joos and Christians are evil, that Western culture and Capitalism is a cancer upon the earth and that c call to prayer is the sweetest sound in the land.

I think it's safe to say he has no love for anyone that doesn't practice the religious tenets he was raised under.
Which also exposes his disdain for our Constitution.

Yes, from what I have read, it is true.

Muslims actually respected history, and even treated Jews better than Christians did for a while.

But times change.

Christians improved, and Muslims rotted.

It is true that the Catholic Church was pretty brutal at times.
But Muhammad himself was brutal toward Jews.
He ordered three tribes of Jews in Medina to be exterminated,
because they were pointing out how he was misquoting scripture.

I just checked out the link provided by Solar:
http://pamelageller.com/2015/07/pamela-geller-breitbart-news-1001-muslim-myths-and-historical-revisions.html/

That article, plus many of the comments, are very informative.
It's so tragic that the page loads so horrifically slowly.
Maybe "long running scripts" were invented by Muslims, too.

By far the most amusing comment on that page is:

The only thing the Muslims have invented was the condom,... they used the rectum of a goat.
The English improved upon that in later years by first removing the rectum from the goat

This deserves a replay....

Unfortunately (maybe fortunately) I am unable to access your link because it requires Adobe flash drive.

I have used Adobe flash drive in the past but it caused me great computer problems and I am not uploading it again.

The video runs 2:19.
It looks like it was taken at night by an infrared camera.
It shows, from a pretty far distance,
what looks like a guy humping a goat (or maybe a sheep)
and a couple of other guys casually walking around
like it's no big deal.

That is what I suspected.  I don't mind skipping that video!
