There was a problem with mosques in the US where the great circle says aim NE, but popular opinion said SE. Popular opinion wins almost every time.

Bowing to the west...well, it’s a good thought anyway.
I wonder if there will be “peaceful demonstrations?”

How could the Dutch police be so uninformed? I’ll bet they don’t even know the color of the prophet’s eyes.

Does this mean the worshipers won’t get their 72 virgins and a fatwa will be issued for the Dutch police?

Think of it this way, you have a bunch of Moslems who have left it up to Christians to select the direction of prayer.
