Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari is believed to have been speaking at a university lecture in the United Arab Emirates when a student asked him whether the Earth rotates or is stationary.
The Islamic scholar quickly replies ‘stationary and does not move’, before launching into a long-winded and confusing explanation that appears to the suggest that if the Earth was moving, airliners would never be able to reach their destination."
Allahu not too Akbar, Sheikh!
One day they will declare that the Earth rides on the back of a large tortoise that swims in a large ocean...and the devout will believe it.
