Having written countless columns and blog posts arguing that the see-no-Islam counterinsurgency strategy (COIN) has led to failure in two wars in the umma (Muslim world) and the dhimmification of the U.S. military, it's almost funny to see the debate more or less officially joined over my recent column on what appears to be simply the gross-out, PG-13 movie topic of peeing toward Mecca. Or, rather, not peeing toward Mecca.
The latter is the lesson that an Afghan Muslim contractor has been teaching Marines before they deploy to Afghanistan, in accordance with an Islamic canonical hadith called "The Prohibition of Facing the Qiblah When Relieving Oneself." But maybe the debate had to take this excretory turn with the Pentagon awash in the phony fundamentals of Greg Mortenson's discredited "Three Cups of Tea."

"All streams of urine lead to Mecca"
As I see it, this exposes Islam to be a group of idol-worshipers. Or have I missed something?
These assholes blow up women and children, kill patients in hospitals and shoot at red cross marked helicopters and we’re supposed to be careful what direction we pee? Equip our drones with spray tanks. Pull our Soldiers out of Afghanistan and spray it constant for the next five years with defoliant/soil sterilant and persistent nerve agent.
Exactly.
Cross Hairs permanently zeroed in.
I need to take a leak.
The fools worship a silver wrapped black rock! How insensitive could they actually be, being that primitive?
From Springfield MA, the linked Qibla locator agrees precisely with the Google Earth line metric drawn to Mecca. By pulling back for a whole earth view in Google Maps, you can center the line and see that it is a great circle route.
please don't try do do both at the same time, you could injure something.
Thanks for the correction, doc. Guess I’m just a rhumb line navigator. The good news is that my favorite urinal at work falls directly in alignment.
