The Italian – throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.
The German – carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.
The Frenchman – takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese – eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
The Russian – Drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.
The Israeli – sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
The Palestinian – blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian so there will be peace.
Is “Islamic science” based on evidence derived from facts or fantasy?
While attending a company school near Minneapolis, a Muslim Bangladeshi classmate insisted Islamic science had shown that our moon was constructed of two hemispheres with a seam encircling the entire moon as proof. Oddly, Scientific American et al, never covered the discovery. Disturbingly, he never made it onto the plane back to Saudi Arabia.

All the examples I have been given were pronouncements from their illiterate* founding “prophet”.
So, not facts. Not sure it even qualifies as “fantasy”, even – more like the results of insanity or drugs. (And your example is fairly tame, actually.)
* yes, literally. He is sometimes called “the unlettered prophet” because of it. It is not secret or denied – it is official and acknowledged.

There were many white men, trappers and traders, living among the Plains Indians two hundred years ago. Most of them said at one time or another that while they got along with the tribe they had allied with, they did not want the tribal shaman, who doubtless knew a lot about herbal medicines, chanting their leg back together if it had been broken. You want your medicine man to know his limitations. I

Will this be the next target for the flat-Earth fluffers?
Can’t they all go back to their jobs helping make the one-day movies in the San Fernando Valley? Surely that pays better than anything from Flat Earthing.

This kind of thing is *phenomenal* for destruction of society, and the people pushing are quite willing to do anything so long as they rule, so destruction of society that results in them ruling the ash pile is a win in their book.
That’s what’s going on, plain and simple: wreck everything so that fewer people are equipped to resist totalitarian rule.

“….Islamic science had shown that our moon was constructed of two hemispheres with a seam encircling the entire moon as proof.”
The same is true about earth – two joined hemispheres, in fact, joined right at the equator.
I submit the globe sitting on my bookshelf as proof – the seam is visible, right at the equator. If it were not true, globe manufacturers would not all make globes the same way.
Ain’t science wunnerful?

Yer a geenus! Why has no one shown this to the geophysiks people? Think of all the money they coulda saved on research.
The scary part is, Mohammed was quite unmoved by counterargument. I wonder what happened to him. I actually felt sorry for him, as he was ostracized.

I briefly had a Muslim co-worker. His english was abysmal. He claimed to be a UW Madison computer science student. I googled him. Odd, same name as an actual university prof back home. We fired him.
