     “Koranic precedents for modern science”

     Sounds like a great class to offer the public schools in California.

     I hope that most Muslims outside of Saudi Arabia realize that when they “face” Mecca to pray daily that they are more than likely not facing Mecca at all due to the shape of the earth. I also hope they realize that the origination of the modern day Burqa is a result of nomads protecting their skin from the desert extremes while they traveled around performing daily chores.

     Aside from that, what a circus. The Soviets tried the same thing and failed miserably. This group will fail epicly because the bases for their belief is inconsistent and counterproductive towards the progression of life.

     The watch is said to rotate anti-clockwise and is supposed to help Muslims determine the direction of Mecca from any point on Earth.

     Counting down…to the world caliphate?

     He said the English had imposed GMT on the rest of the world by force

     Anti…Christ? Has anybody asked, really?

     If future sharia watches run backwards, and everything everywhere along with a few of our politicians are pointing toward Mecca, there could a distinct possibility that Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C. will be moved to also point in that direction and focus there rather than at the White (or name your color) House.

     The meeting also reviewed what has been described as a Mecca watch, the brainchild of a French Muslim.

     Was I the only one reminded of the new calendar the revolutionists made up during the French Revolution? *That* certainly worked…

     I love it. The aviators always plan air support on zulu time (GMT) instead of local time, leaving the poor ground guys confused as to when the air will show up on station. (Unless you possess superlative skills at addition and subtraction, and a good memory…) If Jihadi Mean Time (JMT) now equals local time in the mideast, us poor dumb ground guys will be straight! Now the bombs will hit when I want them to.

     May your bombs always hit when and where you want them to.

     Billy Mays,

     I was wondering when people would make the connection to THE Billy Mays. You gotta stay true to yourself. When you have great products like OxiClean, Orange Glo, and Mighty Putty, you need to shout it from the rooftops. Blog etiquette be damned! KEEP THE CAPS LOCK ON, AND KEEP THOSE GREAT PRODUCTS COMING!

     While I utterly disagree with what the Qur’an teaches, I must remind people on these boards that there *ARE* Muslim scientists. I worked with on for 3 years and he was a really nice guy. Disagreed with him on religious issues, but he was still a nice guy.

     Let’s not descend into DailyKOS with the stereotypes please.

     You guys do know that (urban legend?) story about the suicide bombers who blew up prematurely due to time switching?

     Only example I could dig up was from Epoch News:

     In September 1999, to accommodate the Jewish prayer schedule for the holydays, Israel turned its clocks back earlier than normal. The Palestinian West Bank, refusing to comply with “Zionest Time,” did not. This saved the lives of countless Israelis when two coordinated bombs went off an hour prematurely while still being transported by Palestinian terrorists. Apparently, the terrorist on either side of the border hadn’t coordinated their watches.

     Hey, it’s a 72-year old virgin, not 72 virgins. Like all jihady’s; they have been lied to by their Iman’s.

     Yes there’s that, or imagine their surprise when they find out that there may be 72 virgins waiting for them, but it was never specified male or female virgins >=)

     The Royal Observatory makes no absurd claim of being the “true center of the earth”, it just makes sense to start the time zones from where your own location. The concept of global travel was new at time, and the Brits should be given credit were credit is due.

     But if you want to divide the world into Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, then it’s important to separate yourself from the Kafr, robbing them of their scientific advances while claiming moral superiority.

     No but it does remind me of the petty arrogance of trying to replace BC with BCE so some people won’t have to be reminded of the religious roots of the Gregorian calendar.

     I think the fact that the watch runs backwards says it all… anything more is gilding the lily.
