Atlas, how can you be so loyal to a teaching which has messed you up so much personally?
Islam, being the foundation of life where you are.

Europe erased that the quran mentioned it first? What, they removed the verses you talk about from the quran? If it's as clear as you say, the evidence is still there for all to see. In what way have they covered it up?

If in fact your case here is very weak, then why should they credit it and not give credit to a more substantial claimant?

History is bullshit? I think that's rather an overreaction.

So we can assume that, had you been born to a rural Egyptian family, you would have rejected your 'birthright' indoctrination of Islam?

Sometimes I don't know if you're being serious or not.

Yet you are incapable of this. You are a raving fucking idiot if you think Muslims were the first to discover or widely accept the shape of the Earth. You have yet another problem in this regard, the Earth is actually not a sphere, but an oblate spheroid. Go try to dig that out of your fucking book. What's the matter? Allah didn't know this? Needed to dumb it down for the readers of the Quran? Or was he just in the business of being 'close enough'? Oh yeah, Muslims didn't make that discovery either.

This is the problem with you fundamentalist types (Muslim, Jew, or Christian); you just accept at face value the lies told to you and are happy to kick them down the road. We know better, which only makes you look like a lunatic. Keep your head in the sand to maintain your delusions if you wish, it's your choice. Just know that you're full of shit.
