  • wrong way mooslims

    From RichD@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 12 11:41:02 2023
    Yesterday I witnessed a pair of mooslim youths praying,
    on a lawn. They faced north.

    I didn't say anything, I feared they might take offense.
    However, the Profit might take offense at their
    carelessness. I mean, we're talking their immortal souls,
    that's heavy stuff. Did I do the wrong thing?

    It makes me wonder, what about mooslims in Thailand
    or Russia? Are they supposed to they face east, or do
    they use a map?

    And what if they harpoon a camel? If that's a sin, should
    they face west?

    Muslims technically aren't facing East....they are supposed to be facing Mecca. And, if you want to argue that it's East, I'd ask which East? Grid or Magnetic? because Magnetic keeps changing. Furthermore, one muslim scholar says ideally you face
    North-East....but then maybe that was from his perspective if he was SW of Mecca. Then, you'd also have to ask yourself if Allah is so retarded that he really cares what direction you face when you pray to him? Better yet, would any God that's all
    powerful really care about something as insignificant as you praying to him? I know I wouldn't and the bible says I was made in god's image, so probably God wouldn't care either. And, WTF do muslims do when they are on long flights? Even if you can
    pull out your handy rug and find a spot big enough to pray in the aisle, every airplain on long flights is taking a crazy arc around the globe so how the fuck would you even know which way was East every time you had to kiss the rug? And, is there even
    a call to prayer on an islamic flight? What would that sound like inside a plane?

    I think you acted correctly not disturbing their prayers.
    Next time you see them praying on the lawn facing to the incorrect direction, without saying anything just take each rug by two corners and with utmost delicacy turn rug and worshiper to point to the right direction.

    They will appreciate your respectful aid.

    It could be a typo - maybe they meant...

    Jesus does.

    When a team tries a last second field goal, both teams pray to Jesus
    to make or miss. Then whichever prays more sincerely, He favors.


    I know I wouldn't and the bible says I was made in god's image,

    The other way round -

    WTF do muslims do when they are on long flights? Even if you can pull out your handy rug and find

    I can't figure if this is serious or satire.

    Well, that's pure bullshit. You have no idea how many times I very sincerely prayed that ace didn't spike the river on pokerstars, but sure as shit, that ace always hits the river like they had a monkey in a glass house with a stack of aces waiting to
    crush your KK.

    JFC, I try to come up with the most bizarre set of circumstances for which there is no answer and sure as shit someone has made a video answering it. We've reached peak internet.
