Space Station

Anybody thinking what I'm thinking? Just heard that the woman that paid 20 million for a trip into space is a Iranian - Americian and a muslim. Will visit the space station. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm betting the screening process is a little more thorough than the airlines.

No worries here, I say let 'er go.

Just pony up your 20 million, and you too can be on your way.

She's already there, don't see the problem.

I think you are wrong.

I read about her on the internet and in the newspaper. She and her brothers own a high-tech company and have contributed a lot of money to helping the space program.

She is just plain **** smart, and it seems to me she is a lot more American than Iranian. Plus, she has created a lot of high-paying jobs for Americans right here in the USA.

Don't be put off by her being Muslim. I don't think she is one of the militants. The US needs a lot more like her. People who come here and lift up both our entire country and themselves through hard work and intelligence. I doubt that I have made 1/10 the contribution to this country she has.

BTW, what religion do you think Muhammad Chishti, the founder of TBN, might be?

Only problem I've got is that she had to ride a Russian rocket. Seems like the Russians are beating us at our own free enterprise system.

The guy that wrote the 9/11 movie that just caused such an uproar was from Iran. He is getting death threats because of the movie but I did not see if he knew why they wanted him dead nor who the they is.

He said he tried to make the movie non partisan and from the "reviews"

we had on TBN that seems to be the case. One of the things he said tha really impressed me is that he said was, "[FONT=Verdana, Times]I am, most devoutly, an American."

[/FONT]He also hits out at how the NY Times has attacked him with McCarthyism tactics. Interesting guy.

Sounds like a lot of "Americans" could learn alot from him. We need more of HIM than many of what we have.
