Koran says that the earth is flat
And the sun is flat too, according to the Koran!
Religious fanaticism is not only dangerous....it can be very amusing!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'K')oran says that the earth is flat
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '&')#1608;الارض بعد ذلك دحاها
And we have made the Earth wide (da7a-ha). Da7a in general means to widen or make bigger. But a more complete definition is to inflate or increase in general size (دحا البطن - the stomach grew larger) or could even allude to the connected word ad7iyah which means an ostrich's egg, thus saying the Earth is similar in shape to an egg (not a sphere, but three dimensional).
So the verse does not talk about increasing in just one or two dimensions but about all three and even alludes to the actual shape (egg, which is fairly accurate since the Earth is not a perfect sphere).
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd the sun is flat too, according to the Koran!
And I care any more about his idiotic opinion that has no basis on reality and the Qur'an than I do your opinion?
But it's not like you've ever posted anything with any substance; only BS like what you've shown here where you go completely off topic.
I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God. - Rabia

Fadhel Al-Sa’d: "The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in Koranic verses.....What I say is based on Koranic science.... I reject categorically – the modern science that they teach in schools. This science is a heretic innovation that has no confirmation in the Koran. No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is round or that it rotates. Anything that has no indication in the Koran is false."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Fishman', 'I') assume you mean that Cheney planned the bomb in Bali, London, Spain, etc.
Again, please leave your fantasies in your bedroom. I'm referring to occurances like these:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')n Thursday morning in Arab Jabour, southeast of Baghdad, the U.S. military dropped 38 bombs with 40,000 pounds of explosives in 10 minutes Washington Post
Get with the program. Car bombing is minor league. You want to be a real terrorist, you've got to fly the stars and stripes.

Of a thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought would never end
Now is nothing more than a memory
The way things were before
I lost my way" - OCMS
