Hey guys, what's up?
For mankind to reach out amongs the stars a new era of peace and understanding was needed. Obviously the backwards islam struggled and had to go. It was a sacrifice we were willing to make for the greater good. Was it wrong? Maybe, but we have totally rad spaceships now!

Those were Christian fundamentalists. Or was it changed to that for the movie? I haven't read the book.

“Such a one-way journey poses a real risk to life, and that can never be justified in Islam,” the committee said. “There is a possibility that an individual who travels to planet Mars may not be able to remain alive there, and is more vulnerable to death.”

The committee warned that those who participate in the “hazardous trip” will likely die for no “righteous reason,” causing them to be liable to a punishment of those who commit suicide.

They're more like space gypsies if we're being honest

also the clear answer to the question is that Islams don't believe in science, ergo they cannot exist in science fiction

Theres no arabs in space as they find it hard to point to Mecca to pray.
And burkas tend to float up, showing ankles, which led to them killing all their female space pilots in fits of MOHAMMAD RAGE.

So they stay on earth, shunning space in favor of throwing gays off roofs and making half their population never leave the house.
