Offbeat: Indonesian Muslims: You’re praying in the wrong direction

  • It has been decided that actually the mosques are facing Somalia or Kenya, so we are now suggesting people shift the direction slightly to the north-west. There’s no need to knock down mosques, just shift your direction slightly during prayer.
  • Indonesian Ulema Council head Cholil Ridwan • Informing Muslims in the country that they’ve been praying in the wrong direction. Because that’s not alarming or anything. The group, also known as the MUI, says that people’s prayers have not been wasted, and that Allah still heard them. It’s not often that iPhone users have something in common with Muslims, but both have apparently been doing it the wrong way. source

Politics: Evangelist says controversial things about Islam; Pentagon freaks

  • You can’t beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they’ve committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries. I don’t agree with the teachings of Islam and I find it to be a very violent religion.
  • Evangelist Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham, who’s still kicking) • Regarding the Islamic religion. He said these statements in an a CNN interview last year, and now they’re being thrown in his face as the Pentagon is blocking him from taking part in National Day of Prayer events at the large, pointy mecca (whoops, wrong choice of word) hub of the Department of Defense. Just think of it this way, Frankie: At least radical Muslims didn’t suggest you’d be killed for your controversial statements, like Trey Parker and Matt Stone. source
