(2006-12-05) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on NASA to include a Muslim prayer room in its planned moon base, and on all passenger spacecraft shuttling between earth and the moon.
“The moon was the inspiration for the Islamic crescent symbol,” said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, “By all rights, Islam should be the official religion of the moon, but we’re willing to tolerate diversity, for the time being, in exchange for protection of our civil rights.”
CAIR, a non-profit organization which promotes understanding, justice and “appropriate limits on freedom of speech” for its ideological adversaries, initially intended to organize a boycott of moon flights to protest NASA’s development of the moon.
“But then we realized,” Mr. Hooper said, “that the only way to reach the moon people with the message of our peaceful religion is to live among them, blend in and act normal, and then periodically to burst into loud cries of Allahu Akbar in public places.”
