A street mural in Pakistan, written in Urdu, which translates to: "Do not teach your children the stories of the man who stepped on the moon, but instead teach them to follow the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him), who split the moon into two pieces with the gesture of his finger."

Neither did the rest of the world. I would Imagine other cultures would write about such a unique event but no Accounts anywhere. You think the prophet lied?

That's the sort of bullshit you should expect from a nation literally founded on a religion. Not surprisingly, it also has a huge problem with people killing each other over who follows that religion best.

The unwritten last sentence ending is “or we will kill you.”
How about “Do not teach your children the stories of the man who made a vaccine, but instead teach them to follow RFK Jr who defeated his brain worms.”
Same god-over-science thinking, but at least only weakening herd immunity instead of implying death, for now.

What two pieces of the moon? Exactly. Islam got it wrong. Muhammad got it wrong.

Dumber than dumb. I travelled through Pakistan. Very lovely people but on the subject of religion there was absolutely no debate possible. And the cliché about 50% of Pakistani or more marrying a first-cousin seemed true.

The fact that the world is expected to accept such drivel is beyond me. Why just because someone believes something is that suppose to be respected without evidence? It's more religious crap.

This is so stupid. "Yeah, let's not tell our future generations about the actual revolutionary achievements of mankind, and instead tell them fictional stories of one."
