How can they ?
They have to face Mecca 5 times a day to pray. I guess they could try but it would be hard for them floating around like that. |

ever since the muppets sent "PIGS IN SPACE" they have been banned from space travel by the mullahs. You never know when a fly by "porking" might occur.

I heard a great joke in a Mississippi bar last week:
Him: "Do you remember the Muslim neighbor on The Jetsons?" Me: "Wait. There was no Muslim neighbor on The Jetsons." Him: "Ain't the future great?" |

Don't you remember the Wrath of Khan? He was supposed to be a genetically enhanced Arab Prince that helped bring about the Star Trek World's "Apocalypse" during the later half of the 21st century.
So even in the future, they're still causing "problems" for the rest of the world. |

If you're into Star Trek, the muslims are already there.
They're called Klingons. Klingons were patterned on Islam religion and culture. You only go to Sto-vo-kor (paradise) if you have enough honor or you die in battle against your enemy (regardless of past honor or lack of it). Aren't suicide bombers told they'll go straight to Paradise when they frag themselves, or even if they're killed in the attempt of murdering Israelis? Arabic was used as a phonetic model for the klingon language. Society is heavilly influenced by klans. (remember the dishonor of the house of Mogh, Worf's father?) Klingons are unneccessarily brutal. -nuf said on that one Klingons are so busy fighting their enemies and each other that they cannot focus on building thier own sociey, they have to take it from others. (BTW, the last two are my own observations and are more subjective than the previous) FWIW- Dr. Bashir on DS9 is Arabic (I think- maybe Indian). His real name is/was Siddig El Fadil before he changed it to Alexander |

So even in the future, they're still causing "problems" for the rest of the world. The Eugenics War. Took place back in the 1990s. In 1992, Khan Noonien Singh rose to rule one-fourth of the entire planet. Within a year, his fellow supermen seized power in 40 other nations. Terrible wars ensued, in part because the supermen fought among themselves. Entire populations were bombed out of existence,and Earth was on the verge of a new dark age. By 1996, the supermen were overthrown. -From "The Star Trek Encyclopedia" copyright 1997. Wonder how we all forgot it so quickly.... Scott |

Muslim will never go to space. Well at least not the radical ones. Its hard to get the needed effect of a bombing in a vacuum environment. [;)]

I think Lt. Ilia from Star Trek The Motion Picture was Indian (Hindu)...not Muslim...but there are Indians who convert to Islam & vice versa so that is an iffy.
Khan was an Arab....so I guess Muslims did make it to space...in the movies anyway. It would be an interesting project to determine the religious background of all Astronauts...Russian, American, etc. to see how many were Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc...just for curiosity. |

I could easily imagine muslims in space. If, for instance, they had been shot out of a giant cannon pointed skywards.
