There are PDA programs, etc., to help with this. I wonder if they account for “Popular Opinion Declination” when they calculate the great circle direction!

” painted arrows in cells pointing in the wrong direction...”
Good one, someone over there has a sense of humor.
Just wait until they find out that the police supplied prayer rugs have strips of pigskin woven in.

Here’s something to ponder- Does a muzzie who is doing his daily prayers to the moon god from a point just east of Mecca, say, 50 feet and within sight of it, still face East and away from the obelisk, or face West and directly towards it? Just askin’...

They might well be up to date now on GPS and everything like Google-earth since they are thoroughly contaminated with Westernism here in the USA whether they know it or not. Something had to be worked out at NASA for the ISS too, although I don’t know what the imams decided.

They should have painted the arrows in the direction of the sewer system.

Clearly, this was no mistake. It’s racism. I understand the Revs. Al and Jesse will be demanding reparations.
