Apologists defend their religion against skeptical attacks. It does not mean they 'apologize' for it. For example, a Christian apologist may counter skeptical attacks on the existence of Jesus with evidence from multiple sources that he did exist.

Name at least three famous Muslims in the world?

It depends on what you mean by famous, but some prominent Muslims in the world today include: Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei (a nuclear scientist with the IAEA who developed safer nuclear technologies), Naguib Mahfouz (an Egyptian literary genius), and Muhammad Yunus (an economist who developed micro-finance). All three of these men have received Nobel Prizes for their work. Famous Muslim celebrities in the West include: Mehmet Oz (a celebrity doctor affiliated with Oprah Winfrey), Maz Jobrani (a stand-up comic), Aasif Mandvi (contributor on the Daily Show), Ennis Esmer (series lead in the Canadian TV series The Listener), and Tariq Ramadan (Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and Islamic Apologist).


How did McCarthyism affect Americans?

Almost all that I have seen published about McCarthyism, during the era and afterwards, discusses the horrid negative effects of Tail-Gunner Joe's political activities; and almost all of that material is written by people who openly state their left-wing political viewpoint. Because the negative impact has been the major theme of discussions of the McCarthy era, and because it is difficult, though not impossible, to find an apologist for the activities of U.S. government officials and agencies in that era, I'm posting a Web site URL that has eleven links to discussions of McCarthyism, all written (as far as I know) by left-wing thinkers. One of them was a respected and influential Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who often disregarded the law and wrote opinions based on his personal beliefs - to "invent" law, as it were. Here's the Web site: http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/mccarthy/mccarthy.htm


How did Lance Armstrong influence the world?

In many ways, some good, some bad. I am no longer an Armstong apologist, just a realist. For one, He influenced others to Cheat on his teams, He was the GC rider, so it is only natural. Other GC riders did the same, proven by how ramp-id it was throughout the sport (See operation Puerto). He cheated, however he is not this mastermind, the systems where long in place before him. Cycling has been this way since 1991. With that said, He influenced the popularity of cycling He took it to heights never before reached. The gravy train officially started and no one wanted to jump off - UCI/TDF cough cough. Everyone was making fist over fist. Lance, teammates, Sponsors, UCI/TDF ... everyone. Make no mistake, if they wanted to catch him while he was winning, they could have. The money/popularity was to great though, they let it happen... Make no mistake about that. Everyone's hands are dirty. NOT one of those hands can honestly throw a stone at Lance... He Gave us hope with his story. But at the same time, cheated us. I still believe he won all those tours. EPO, Steriods, may help, but you still have to do 85% or more of the work. Make no delusions about it. Where he really started to influence the world was in cancer patients and politics. He gave hope to people on death beds. I'm sure anyone lying in that bed could careless what he did, Hope justifies what he did to some of us. Really how you look at this side of his story depends on if you have ever been touched by cancer/sickness. Now to politics - He became to large, that is why USADA spent ridicuouls amounts of american tax payer dollars to dethrone him. Was he a future presidential candidate? I wouldn't bet against it. He had the power to influence the US elections, possibly even France. He is considered a demographic, Armstrong foundation supporters. He used his following as a corporate lobbyist would. Make no mistake about it, Lance was very influential in cycling, drug testing labs, and political issues. Once the politicians discovered how powerful he could be, they spend millions to bring him down. Lance's political influence "almost" saved his reputation, allowing to stop the hearings once. But the opposing political party continued to throw their weight around... In the end, Lance lost that fight, thus we have the fallout. His teammates would never have talk, specifically Hincappie. Its a truly amazing story... This was a witch hunt, but not for the reasons of making cycling clean. We all know its dirty. As unfornately most sports are. This was more about ending/limiting Armstrong's political reach than anything else. Just look how long it took USADA to gather the information 2.5 years? Was it accidental that it comes out during the presidential elections? Maybe, maybe not, but I smell more to this story.


Did a Junkers JU 390 Fly over Michigan in World War 2?

Yes, on August 27, 1943 a Junkers JU-390 took off from Bergen, Norway and flew out across the Atlantic Ocean. This was a four man Recon-Bomber specially built to fly over America and take important pictures. Anna Kreisling was the Co-pilot and her flying skill was important to the mission. The JU-390 had a 18,000 kilometer range, but the real Top Secret of this mission was the fact that two Junkers JU-290 Tanker aircraft would gas up the JU-390 in air to air refueling. The first air to air refueling took place north of Iceland, if this was successful then the Junkers JU-390 would penetrate into Canada, photograph the Defense Plants in Michigan and proceed to New York. The entire route was free from Radar except over New York. Anna Kreisling, The White Wolf of the Luftwaffe knew that they had a 50% chance of being shot down over New York. This is why Albert Speer designed her a Stainless Steel Bra so that her gorgeous 38D Cup breasts would survive when she bailed out over New York!! Howard Hughes purchased this historical bra for $300,000 dollars for Jane Russell a famous Hollywood actress also with fantastic 38D breasts! When the Junkers JU-390 flew across New York it took many important pictures that were later used in the Nazi Nuclear Program. Five hours later the JU-390 went through another air to air refueling with a Junkers JU-290 Tanker aircraft from the Portuguese Azores. This precious fuel would allow the JU-390 to safely cross the Atlantic Ocean and land in Paris. This Recon Flight was considered Top Secret by Heinrich Himmler who was in charge of the Nazi Nuclear Weapons projects. KG-200 was the squadron that operated this JU-390.
