#1 I believe abu Al-aska laid down the final fatwa on this subject a couple of days back.

#2 I think a quarantine is in order. We can never let this ideology off the planet.

#3 Perhaps they should investigate recent Jewish responsa on these matters. No, that would be too logical.

#4 Praying in space - waggle your ass at Mecca five times a day. The most important part of space exploration. Yaaas.

This ideology can't travel to the corner store, nevermind space.

#5 The idea of praying 5x12=60 times a day has potential. Power generating potential, with all that bobbing up and down on the spot.
Hmmm... Muslim astronaut on rotating Space Station... Joggin'round and round to face Mecca. We're talkin'serious torque here. Could be the biggest Muslim technological advance since the prayer mat buzzer breakthrough in '04.

#7 Ima guessin' the Russkie cosmonaut is under strict order not to bring up the whole Chechyna issue, eh?

#8 BH, on the contrary. A parasite (or a bunch of them thereof) would freeze to an icicle at near 0 degrees Kelvin.

#9 Good thing they can catch a ride with the Russians. If this is what passes for important space exploration questions in the Islamic world, they'll never get off this planet.

I'd just love to see them try to convert Martin the Martian, though.

#10 I notice that "What to do if the aliens aren't moslem" isn't in there.

Probably just run your spacecraft into them and blow up?
