Flashermac Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Oddly enough, when the US launched a Saudi prince into space on a shuttle, many of the mullahs protested - saying space belongs to Allah and man has no business there. p.s. Not many people are aware that there are more Muslims in India than there are in Pakistan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
