"The Sacred City presents compelling evidence that suggests the holy city of Mecca is in the wrong location and that the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims are praying in the direction of the wrong city. Compiling evidence from both historic sources and new technologies point to the correct location in this seismic, revelatory new film.

It would not surprise me as everything about this religion is wrong. Mahomet was a prophet; he was not. There are no prophecies in the koran. Mahomet was an illiterate epileptic, and adulterer, murderer, thief, and pedophile.
The koran is a holy book. It is not, it is a hodgepodge of stories and sayings put together in illogical and unreadable fashion. Even Arabic scholars agree that 80% is unintelligible. The qa'ba is nothing but a rock with a few hundred names of allah on it, nothing more, yet is deserves veneration and the haj is made into a pillar of Islam. If it were to disappear, the entire religion would collapse. Phony prophet, phony book, phony rock, phony city, ergo: phony religion.

Reminds me of a Glencannon story I read in my youth in the Saturday Evening Post in which the unscrupulous Glencannon persuades a praying Malay (I think) that he’s pointed in the wrong direction and sells him a pocket compass at exorbitant price. I forget whether he leaves the Malay praying to magnetic north or not.

Which is why some of us have been arguing for almost 18 years that nuking Mecca would save millions, if not billions of lives - with the desert rats converting to Christianity, Judaism, or atheism - what else could they do? Pray to a radioactive hole in the ground were the Christian God took out allah? The humiliation would never end.

Pretty interesting vid on the geography of cities and sites mentioned in the Koran and why Mecca may not be as holy as thought

- Did Muhammad Ever Really Live? by Perdogg -- "A number of Islamic associations have put a quick end to their collaboration with a professor -- and trainer of people who are supposed to teach Islam in German high schools -- who has expressed his doubt that Muhammad ever lived. Islam scholar Michael Marx spoke with SPIEGEL ONLINE about what lies behind the debate and the historical person of the Prophet." [2008]
- Zul-Qarnain - What is the argument? by Jochen Katz (not on FR) -- [snip]I have never claimed that Zul-Qarnain *is* the historical Alexander the Great. I don't know why your move to agree with me in this is considered a rebuttal... The argument is then that the Qur'anic story is clearly taken from the legends about Alexander. There are many many details of the Qur'an account which are nearly verbatim to be found in the Alexander legends. Conclusion: Zul-Qarnain clearly is the Alexander the Great of the legend stories. And because the Qur'an presents the material from the legends as if this were history, it shows that Muhammad could not distinguish between legends and history when he incorporated this material in the Qur'an. This is evidence that the Qur'an is not of divine origin.[/snip]

I'm interested to hear what you think about it after you get a chance to look at the alignments of all the early qiblas that pointed to Petra, NOT to Mecca........
