Muslim Calls for World to Switch to Mecca Time
By Duane Lester • Apr 21st, 2008
Muslim “scientists” called for the world to abandon Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Instead, it is time to switch to “Mecca Time” (insert obligatory MC Hammer reference here):
The call was issued at a conference held in the Gulf state of Qatar under the title: Mecca, the Centre of the Earth, Theory and Practice.
One geologist argued that unlike other longitudes, Mecca’s was in perfect alignment to magnetic north.
He said the English had imposed GMT on the rest of the world by force when Britain was a big colonial power, and it was about time that changed.
Yes, instead, the entire Earth should be set to Islam’s most holy site. There’s not really anything more to this, is there?
But wait folks, there’s more. Because Mecca Time comes with a free Mecca Watch:
The watch is said to rotate anti-clockwise and is supposed to help Muslims determine the direction of Mecca from any point on Earth.
That’s right folks! The new Mecca watch runs backwards. That’s pretty telling, isn’t it? It will be very helpful when we turn our watches to Mecca time.
Step one, turn your clock back 1400 years.
