Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Iran, Turkey and Malaysia are planning to build an "Islamic car" that will have a compass to find the direction of Makkah, Malaysia's state news agency reported.
The proposed car will also have a compartment for the Quran and prayer scarves, the Bernama agency quoted an official of Malaysian automaker Proton as saying.
"The car will have all the Islamic features and should be meant for export purposes," said Proton's managing director, Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.
"We will identify a car that we can develop to be produced in Malaysia, Iran or Turkey," he said during a visit to Tehran.
Syed Zainal said the vehicle was an Iranian initiative. "What they (Iran) want to do is to call that an Islamic car," he said.
The managing director said that with government support, the Islamic car producers will be able to get a big volume of orders.

Bwhahahahahahhahah!!!
I'd sooner drive one of those Yugos from the Cold War era or one of those commie made East German pieces of crap.
Rumor has it that these "Islamic cars" have an automatic ejection seat in case an infidel sits in the car and they self detonate whenever a school bus full of infdel children is nearby.
I'm being sarcastic...but there is an obvious greater point here.

And it comes with a young goat in the trunk.
Does it blow itself up in crowds of innocent civilians?

American liberals will want them, to show solidarity with the oppressed. Prius or Proton? Decisions, decisions...
You mean the Trabant?
Does anyone have the faux VW add about a terrorist detonating a car bomb that is contained by the car?
Yes!
I had forgotten the name....
Yeah, you can get the optional suicide bomb package. LOL
Muslims don’t even pray in the direction of Mecca. They think the Earth is flat. Outside of Arabia, they pray in the direction of space.
Now you even have the web site link.
LOL! That’s the one. This thread needed it.
That is hilarious !
Yeah...thanks.
I wonder if any of these POS cars still exist or on the roads?
Maybe they own and drive them up in Berkeley.
Wouldn’t doubt it.
