Dr Pipes,

After writing the post about the bogus claim that the Qur'an says in 79:30 that the earth was created like an "ostrich egg" I found an old YouTube video of no other than Zakir Naik and in the video he claims that the Quran says in 79:30 that the earth is like the egg of an ostrich!

Zakir Naik is a dangerous and ignorant person and I feel sorry for Indian Muslims and Pakistanis that listen to this ignorant man. I do not think he is a liar, i think he is just ignorant.

It seems that the source of this big fat lie is no other than an Egyptian Sheikh his name is Zaghloul el-Naggar and here is his claim that the earth is created like an "ostrich egg' being refuted
