Police gaffe makes Muslims pray in wrong direction



A Dutch police station trying to help Muslim detainees face Mecca for their prayers painted arrows in cells pointing in the wrong direction...Muslims pray five times a day, facing east in the direction of Mecca. But the arrows in Segbroek pointed west.

"This is a really gigantic, stupid blunder," a police spokesman told the De Telegraaf. "The faulty compass marks have been immediately corrected. It is a mystery for us how this could have possibly happened".

I think Theo Van Gogh was just having some fun.

Regardless, what does it matter if they're facing eastward or westward? As long as they pray downwards, they're facing their paradise.
