Muslims Demand Magic Meteor Mean Time

Posted by Dave Blount at April 22, 2008 7:07 AM

Originally Mohammad was going to have his cult of cutthroats face Jerusalem when they prayed. But Jews refused to take him seriously as a prophet, so in a fit of pique, he changed it to the meteor pagan savages where already worshiping in Mecca.

Today a billion Muslims pray facing the meteor. In Britainistan, graveyards and prison toilets are oriented with the meteor in mind.

Now Muslims are demanding that international time zones be based on the meteor, on the grounds that Mecca's longitude is in perfect alignment with magnetic north. Also, Greenwich Mean Time is a relic of British colonial oppression. Now that it's Muslims who do the oppressing, it must be changed to Mecca Mean Time, or maybe Magic Meteor Mean Time.

I'm guessing liberals will be swayed by the colonial angle.
