A debate between an Iraqi "Researcher on Astronomy" and a physicist on Iraqi television. Apparently, this is an important question in the Islamic world... -From the transcript- Interviewer: Lunar and solar eclipses, sunset and sunrise, and the changing of seasons -- how would you explain all these phenomena, if the Earth is not round, as you claim? Fadhel Al-Sa'd: The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in Koranic verses. Have you ever seen how the sun moves? I have seen the sun moving. The sun makes one move every 24 hours. What I say is based on Koranic science. He bases his arguments on the kind of science that I reject categorically -- the modern science that they teach in schools. This science is a heretic innovation that has no confirmation in the Koran. No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is round or that it rotates. Anything that has no indication in the Koran is false. ------------------ RACIST COMMENTS DIRECTED AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING, MAKING FUN OF HOW THEY ARE TALKING, OR THE COLOUR OF PEOPLE'S SKIN WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Im a racist? Well my dna traces back to the middle east and southeast asia. So i dont think i'm racist against my own people but if you say so. You are right about one thing though,I do NOT believe in a god. When i die it will probebly be exactly like it was before I was born, which wasnt too bad. Just think about your own life.Your whole world belief is based off lies. Your whole life is a waste of time. use some logic and free yourself from it.You're like the guy in the video just less extreme

If you dont believe in GOD this is your business because you who will find out the truth in Grave as any one will do. Secondly you have not to judge any thing that you do not know what it is. If you are scientific mind you should do but if you are racist so the problem defiantly in you.

Look who you are or what you are. You are poor and misled by western propaganda, your freedom is only fake, you told me if I leave you, may be you havent read any newspaper or watching TV news to know what have your pioneer liberty country has done to others,, your country has ruined the life of millions without any passion nor any regret feeling as your all people playing eating sleeping while the people who you devastate their life by direct killing execution or tortured.

I will respect your religion if you leave me alone. Why dont you respect my non-religion and mind your own business? No system that tells other people how to live their lives should be immune to criticism. I don't read your silly book because it is a work of fiction, based off of superstition and non-science.Its foolish to search for verses or passages to find a shred of truth among the rubble. Just like it is foolish to find truth in naustrodamus's or the bible's predictions. Read a real book

so do not speak abou A book which you havent read it.. ok to be pragmatic and scientfic. but you re alwayes got superiority view just like Nazi( who were not Muslims!!) so dont be prejudice. and you must be polite and respect others religion.

look who or whatever you are!do not say any word about the Quran. which you do not read and you do not know every thing about it,all you know what the US propaganda has told you, this Quuran has led the nations over ages to what they are know if you do not believe just open Wikipedia and werite:Latin translations of the 12th century then write : Gerard of Cremona and you will see how the "Arab who has been motivated by Quran and Islam" has done!! before there was some thing named USA.
