Medina - on Sunday the birth from Galileo Galilei jährte itself to 451. Times. It is improbable that Bandar Al-Khaibari knows. But at the birthday of the world-famous astronomer the Islamic lawyer with expressions over earth and sun provided exactly for attention.

The theologian answered it in a mosque questions, which had submitted supporters in writing before, gives a video of the appearance. Someone wanted to know: “Does the earth rotate or does stand still it?” Khaibaris clear answer: “Stands still you.” And naturally do not turn the earth also around the sun, that before it already higher-ranking Islam scholars would have determined.

“If we with an international flight of Sharjah (airport in the united Arab emirates - note D. Talk.) to China fly: If the airplane stands still, then it China would have to come nevertheless against, stimmt's or not”, the hobby astronomer asks and points to his water cup. “And if the earth rotates in the other direction, then the airplane will be able to never reach China, because China drives itself with the airplane.”
