For Muslims, it's a high-tech call to prayer. A new cellular telephone generates five automated reminders a day at prayer time and points Muslims in the direction of Mecca.

It also contains a copy of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, in both Arabic and English.

I'll bet it has a handy dandy "Detonate" button for the jihadi on the go too.

$100 to the first American patriot who writes a cell phone virus against this and causes the Mecca pointer to point to the nearest public bathroom or outhouse.

As a bonus feature you can get an automatic bomb-detonation button.

Next thing the US Senate will demand that we supply such cell phones to the terrorist detainees.

How about the nearest swine farm or pork butcher house not within 30° of the angle to Mecca?

Ask the Imam

The above link is a site where the Moslems ask the so called religious dudes questions. As you can see if you look at the site, the primary thing one does once becoming a Moslem is unscrew ones cranium, remove ones brain, then ask the imam what to do from then on.

Islam and free thinking do not mix. Hence, Islam is un-American and just about un-everything else except Islam.

Make it point to a hog farm and I'll make it $200!
