Mecca mosques 'wrongly aligned'

[Rrose Selavy]

Some 200 mosques in Islam's holiest city, Mecca, point the wrong way for prayers, reports from Saudi Arabia say.

Some worshippers are said to be anxious about the validity of their prayers.

Oh no ! the aerial was pointing the wrong way . No wonder my prayers weren't answered.

There have been suggestions that laser beams could be used to make an exact measurement.

Nice of them to suggest acknowledging "modern" science - when it suits them.

"There are no major errors but corrections have been made for some old mosques, thanks to modern techniques," he said.
In any case, it does not affect the prayers."

How does he know?
