Riyadh, 27 July (AKI) - Many Saudi imams have discovered that the direction of Mecca indicated to the faithful in their mosques is off-course.
Thanks to the images provided by Google Earth, some Saudi scientists have been able to monitor the main mosques in the kingdom, discovering that many of them have the qibla (the niche in the wall indicating the direction of Mecca) placed incorrectly.
According to Saudi researcher Abelaziz al-Ghamidi, quoted by the daily 'al-Watan', in the area of al-Baha alone 15 mosques have been identified where the qibla does not correspond correctly to the direction of Mecca, the most holy site in Islam.
Maybe the mighty allah can use his magic powers to nudge things in the right direction. Nah, he’s too busy getting his followers to decapitate people.
ROFLAMO!!!! That’s 15 mosques in just one area where they have been praying “off course”...... I think their holy book says the only solution to such a crisis is mass suicide (hopefully without taking any infidels with you!!).
What humiliation, to need evil infidel capitalists to tell you how to face towards Mecca. Since jihadists are always wailing about every ‘humiliation’ this could provoke some very violent activities......
Not ready for civilization
Guess they could have used GPS back then.
Heck no, everyone knows the Jews moved the latitude/longitude lines.
Eternity in Hell is a long time, a very long time. Enjoy.
I’m building a new house and my toilet is going to be aimed directly at Mecca so I can “worship” too....
Many were secretly altered so that they pointed to the Oscar Meyer Weiner headquarters.
He he.
Now I know why the left relates so well to muzzies - they are really, really stupid. They should make a version of The 3 bearded Stooges building these mosques.
Oh, by the way:
Would rather believe in a GOD that may or may not exist than bypass a GOD that does exist and spend eternity in Hell.
If I’m wrong in believing in GOD, so what.
If I’m right, Heaven is my reward.
If you are right, so what.
If you are wrong, eternity in Hell is your reward.
I think I will take my chances with my Christian belief in GOD.
Does this mean they are all going to Hell?
Soooooo.....move Mecca to fit! Anyhow Dubya did it! The Islamic god is only in Mecca......Jehovah God is omnipresent!
Then we need to move Mecca! A couple of Daisy-Cutters might do the trick!
Many people must die for this insult to the religion of peace.
Good grief.....I hope they’re not sending you out to do any converting!
Yep
Don’t worry. Google Earth will solve that problem by changing the software so as not to offend the Muslims.
