    Sorry to post this here, but I know many slashdotters are Mulsim and I was wondering if you could help me answer a couple of quick questions.

    1. I understand that it says I have to kill others who dont praise allah, but what if I dont hear them praising allah - do I still have to kill them?

    2. Why am I allowed to kill people at all, but I CANT eat a bacon sandwich. Do I only kill people who eat bacon, or doesnt that matter?

    Thanks for your time.

    Come on people, no one believes that!

    The whole thing was clearly faked for the publicity and for NASA to con a few extra bazillion dallars out of the Federal Government, by hiring script writers, faking some photographs, making some beeping noises and some flashing led effects, then whipping off to the pub with the difference.

    See this link and scroll down to the Apollo 13 section http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html

    Honouring these con men at this time, when China is planning the world's first manned mission to the moon is pure sour grapes.
    GlobalSpec: you should be ashamed of yourselves!
