“Heading to Mars”? I thought they were already there.
Reading scientific papers, you’ll encounter any number of scientists with Arab names. They just don’t live or work in Muslim countries. I mean, come on, really–who’s crazy enough to try to do science in Iran?

How refreshing! Here in the non-Muslim world, scientists dive into bed with whoever waves a dollar at them. And if you mention it, they want you thrown in jail for Climbit Chainge De Nile. The Muslim mullahs stone you for saying the wrong thing. Our mullahs pull your grants and keep your kids out of prestige universities.
What do you get when you mix science and politics?
Politics, of course!
