Some 200 mosques in Islam's holiest city, Mecca, point the wrong way for prayers, reports from Saudi Arabia say. All mosques have a niche showing the direction of the most sacred Islamic site, the Kaaba, an ancient cube-like building in Mecca's Grand Mosque. But people looking down from recently built high-rises in Mecca found the niches in many older mosques were not pointing directly towards the Kaaba. Some worshippers are said to be anxious about the validity of their prayers.

Prayer error ping
Wah ha ha ha habist!!!!

Gee, I have a permanent marker spot on my toilet pointing towards Mecca. I hope I haven’t been peeing in the wrong direction.
Yes, but he's very ugly, and leftist, and ugly. Other than that, he's OK.
Ok, this is laughable, but as an atheist, I see all kinds of hair-splitting of this type going on in other religious traditions, too. And it’s not just limited to various Jewish divisions, either.
Nuke Mecca!
Hmmm...linear, exponential, logarithmic, Dirac delta function? The questions are endless...
ROFL....but sad.
“It was Allah’s will.”
It was Allah’s will that an illiterate goat herder was subcontracted to build these buildings?
Eh. Government low bidder. Happens here, every day. ;)
It’s so easy to use laser beam tech to find exact points.
You can even buy the device at Home Depot.
One has to wonder about the “validity” of prayers that must be uttered while facing toward a big ugly black rock anyway..... What, Allah can’t handle prayers oriented in any other direction?
