For years now, Muslim newspapers and magazines around the world have propagated a lie (one of their most recent among many): they have claimed that the first American to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong, converted to Islam after supposedly hearing the "adhan" (call to prayer) in space. It is widely acclaimed throughout the Muslim world that Armstrong actively practices the Muslim religion. This is a falsehood contrived by Muslims who, being at a loss for genuine means of conversion, have resorted to deceit (as well as jihad) to further their global power-grab.
Armstrong is not a Muslim. He did not hear the "adhan" in space. I am going to post a letter on this subject (available on the internet), just for those who are interested. Apparently this rumor was so severe that the US Department of State had to issue a statement refuting it. That is included under the first letter.
FROM: NEIL A. ARMSTRONG
LEBANON, OHIO 45036
July 14,1983
TO: Mr. Phil Parshall Director
Asian Research Center
International Christian
Fellowship 29524 Bobrich
Livonia, Michigan 48152
Dear Mr. Parshall:
Mr. Armstrong has asked me to reply to your letter and
to thank you for the courtesy of your inquiry.
The reports of his conversion to Islam and of hearing
the voice of Adzan on the moon and elsewhere are all
untrue.
Several publications in Malaysia, Indonesia and other
countries have published these reports without verifi-
cation. We apologize for any inconvenience that this
incompetent journalism may have caused you.
Subsequently, Mr. Armstrong agreed to participate in a
telephone interview, reiterating his reaction to these
stories. I am enclosing copies of the United States
State Department's communications prior to and after
that interview.
Sincerely
Vivian White
Administrative Aide
