Self Esteem
Wars
We've heard that NASA has the mission of promoting Moslem self esteem for their purported contributions to science, math, and engineering.
This has inspired much derision. As I commented at Transterrestrial Musings, however, if finding those contributions is our goal, NASA is a good choice for the mission:
I think NASA is perfect to search for Moslem contributions to science and technology. They can detect planets around distant stars, can’t they?
Fire up Hubble, I say! We'll find that sucker yet.
Another commenter hit it on the head:
Muslims have plenty of self-esteem. What they lack is esteem for non-Muslims.
And then there's the problem that a lot feel pretty good about themselves when they kill Infidels or Moslems not up to their standards of the faith.
The really funny thing is that I have no basic problem with the president's space policy. But this stuff should be on the Onion web site.
