No, and I apologize for leaving my meaning unclear.
I was trying to illustrate the reaction we (Muslims) get when we try to tell non-Muslims of the limits set by Allah.
WE are seen as "silly Muslims".
Of course, when headlines have death and destruction the adjective changes quickly,.

Wait, Maybe I didn't read this correctly, but did you just call me a

didn't articulate my question properly for you to understand what it was
I wanted to say, but their was no reason for name calling. My
intentions were good and I welcome all comments that are constructive,
but we are muslims and there is no need to be harsh. Please correct me
if I'm wrong.
As Salaamu Alaikum.

The key is does the person using the knowledge... elevate it?
And disregard the One who really decides?
The Israeli and Hindu on board the NASA shuttle Columbia
almost certainly relied entirely on science
and remained ignorant of ar-Rahman
55:33<http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/55/33>
But they learned.
Thirty years earlier another NASA astronaut went all the way to the
Moon,
read some scripture to listeners back on Earth,
and returned unscathed.
Unbelievers know the above is just a coincidence being cited out of
context
by a silly Muslim.
This silly Muslim doesn't think so.
