That must be the equivalent of "mooning" Mecca, and not good for the soul.
Speaking of facing Mecca, we have provided the prisoners at Gitmo with a sign in the direction of Mecca, for their prayers. I would like to suggest a flagpole with a huge American flag, lit 24 hours a day, right behind the sign. Then when they get down on their knees, they will be bowing to the American flag, too.
I sure wish there was some agency to take suggestions like that, along with my idea of paintball guns shooting gelatin balls filled with lard, rather than paint. Maybe it would help convince them to behave at Gitmo, where they apparently feel rather frisky.
Stay Safe !
I think the plan was to grind it up and make it into a cross, to be placed atop the new 120 story World Trade Center. This way, they would have to a cross facing NYC.
