Mosque = Holy Ammunition Dump & Hideout
Dirka dirka - secret jihadist password

Basically anywhere you wipe your ass with toilet paper instead of your left hand which you then wipe in the dirt.
>> Basically anywhere you wipe your ass with toilet paper ...
In the mid ‘70s I flew the Hajj from West Africa to Saudi Arabia. When we checked into the hotel in Jeddah I could stop traffic when I picked up a pen with my left hand and signed the hotel register.
When a clerk finally said something about it, I said “No problem where I come from - we have toilet paper in America”.
Yeah, left-handers must throw them for a loop all the time.
I sometimes wonder if left-handedness among Jewish people (roughly 1/3 are left-handed -— Hebrew is even written left to right) is one of the reasons why muslims don’t like left-handed people.
