#1 ... how Muslims should behave in space,

The most important thing to remember is that the, so-called, need to maintain pressure is Zionist/Crusader propaganda.

#4 Muslims are supposed to pray five times a day. Now for a spacehip a revolution around teh earth is a day, so a Muslim should pray five times per revolution for the entire duration of the mission (several earth days usually) and do this ins space suit and zero gravity conditions. Just try to hit the florr with your forehead in zero gravity.

So at the end we have a guy who can do little work because he spends his time praying (the time of an astronaut costs thousands of dollars per second) and he is in such state of exhaustion as to be a hazrd for the mission.

Now, how about quite simply not allowing Muslims in space?

#5 That's a good step one, JFM. Now we have to deal with the unreliability of the earth's magnetic field and the probability that compasses are incorrect.

#6 Malaysian scientists and religious scholars are trying to determine how Muslims should behave in space

Poorly, as on Earth.

#9 Yeah, they will pray, but wait until they have to go to the bathroom and perform the woudou stuff with the stones... and did I mention the ablutions before praying?

Gromgoru, ed, BH : lol! Still, that's cruel, you should be ashamed of mocking theses brave muslimonauts daring into kafr space.

#13 The Muslim "guests on other's spacecraft" need not worry. Important people get the fatwas they want.

#16 I already covered this in a previous posting. It's a sticky wicket, depending upon the altitude of the orbit. That is all.

#17 The real questions is, will they ever admit that the Koran says nothing of space travel, and is therefore somewhat outdated? Or that The Allmighty Allan did not see this one coming?

#18 Going to Space means seeing that there's no muddy pool for the Sun to sink into, iow the muslim astronauts prove for themselves their holely book lies.

#19 "It's as important as sending the astronaut," said Mustafa Din bin Subari, deputy director of Angkasa, Malaysia's space agency. "We want to stress that being a Muslim does not restrict you from doing anything."

Sorry but it restricts you from doing this space adventure without denying the science and focusing on how your astronaut waggles his ass at Mecca 5 times a day. It proves you are incapable of joining a space program. That science is beyond the ken of your religion.

Space -- and their only focus is how the muslim can be "pious".

Sad sad sad. The operative word in muslim contibution to science is "used to". Much like the blaming the loss on "leaders" rather than the fundamentals of the religion. The "leaders" are the mullahs, the religion.

Sure, shoot Mohammad into space, just don't expect him to be anything but religious baggage.
