OBAMA'S DIRECTIVE TO NASA IS TWO THOUSAND YEARS TOO LATE

President Obama's instructions to the head of NASA that his primary duty is to engage in an outreach to Muslims by way of congratulating them for their contributions to math and science is just a tiny bit belated. No one could argue that two thousand years ago, a handful of individuals from the region made some significant mathematical cognitive quantum leaps, but Obama's gushing praise is flawed in more than just tardiness. Evidently, president Obama is ignorant of the fact that the 'Muslim' worlds' mathematical prowess came nearly 700 years before the birth of Islam. Frankly, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to gather that Mohamed's brain child probably played a significant role in sentencing the Middle-East to a static existence somewhere between the Stone and Iron ages.
