"Indonesia’s Muslims learned today they have been praying in the wrong direction, after the country’s highest Islamic authority said its directive on the direction of Mecca actually had people facing Africa."

For this insult to the Religion of Peace ... OFF with their HEADS.

[hoosiermama]

Maybe they’re bowing toward Obamanation.

“Indonesia’s Muslims learned today they have been praying in the wrong direction, after the country’s highest Islamic authority said its directive on the direction of Mecca actually had people facing Africa.”

Maybe that’s why China gets so peeved at them when their bombs keep going off up there. The Indonesians think it’s Israel.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Does it really make a differnce. After all, they are pounding their heads into stone floors five times a day. No wonder they don’t have a lick of sense.

Maybe this has to do with Zer0’s NASA outreach to mooselimbs......teach ‘em how to read a map and compass.

What TOTAL asshats!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Obie wants to “Hype” the Muslim contributions to Space Exploration and there is nary a one who can operate a compass in Indonesia? Good God, Man!

[aposiopetic]

From what I can tell, the government there prefers pragmatism over extremism. Imagine trying to keep thousands of islands united: not easy, no matter what.

[eclecticEel]

Is learning how to read a map one of the Muslim accomplishments in Math and Science that NASA is going to be celebrating?

Sharia Geography: yet another way the Mohammadians are working tirelessly to advance civilization.

[Mad Dawg]

Is one supposed to face Mecca on a rhumb line or on a great circle?

[mainsail that]

“There’s no need to knock down mosques, just shift your direction slightly during prayer.”
“Their prayers will still be heard by Allah,”

So Allah only hears from one ear or what?

[Migraine]

I think their prayers actually ricochet off the ceiling and then go nowhere.

They’re all wrong, the right direction is toward the White House.

[libertylover]

It seems like from Indonesia it would only be a few degrees different to face Africa instead of Mecca (in Saudia Arabia).

[Soothesayer9]

So if theyre on a space station, or Mars, which direction do they face?

The Lemmings all acted in concert to do something stupid????!!!! I’m shocked, SHOCKED!! (Good thing they caught it early, otherwise it would have been “tradition”, established hundreds of years ago, forgoing the values of any other culture in the region!)
