See what happened? their prayers were misdirected and were actually being answered for christians instead of for islam.

I suspect you are not a particularly religious type or you would understand that certain places are of great religious importance. Mecca is quite important to Islam. I would imagine that once the Diaspora of humanity from the Earth's surface begins, the location of Earth will always be known and plotted so that those adherents of Islam who have traveled into deep space will always know which way to face when presenting their prayers to Allah.
If you have to ask the question, then you need to bone up on Islam just a wee bit.

"All mosques have a niche showing the direction of the most sacred Islamic site"
and this statement is bullshit
i've been in countless mosques with nothing of the sort.
old buildings converted into mosques.
besides within the mosque to fix the problem is just to realign the rows inside the mosque to point toward mecca if they are so bothered by it.
the buildings don't have to be changed.

When I was in the Navy in the '70s, we had some Saudis on our ship. They did their prayer thing from the secondary conn since there was no one there and there was a compass rose they could use to determine the right direction to face.
We used to get up on top of the helicopter deck and watch them. They'd go nuts if they sensed the ship was turning. One of them would look at the compass rose then start chattering excitedly (we called it "lakka lakka lakka" and they would all change the direction they were facing like a school of fish. It was funny as hell.
I guess they got sick of this because we had to change ship's operations so that we couldn't change course during their prayer time.
In fact, many other factors of ship's operations had to change to accomodate them which caused a lot of resentment. One of the worst was that for some reason they weren't allowed to see each other naked, so the 8 man shower could only be used one Saudi at a time, lenghtening our after work shower routine to several hours. Also, something about eating after sundown for a while changed our dinner schedule. But I'm digressing. (still, it really pissed us off)

I don't know what kind of school they went to (not very good ones, it seems), but when you are traveling in an aircraft and the aircraft is not pointing to Mecca, you pray anyway (while sitting).
Same as when traveling by train. I have seen people do it like a million times. When the train turns, nobody goes nuts... the prayer continues.

Bullshit flag!!!!!
I worked with an engineer, who BTW, is one of the smartest individuals I have ever met. He was from Pakistan. He stank all the time. Not nice stinks like smoke, beer and piss, but bad stinks like 3 day old shit and roadkilled skunks.
Then one day, I was in the toilet and here he comes out of the stall, and walks right past the water faucets and puts lotion on his hands. I had had enough, so I asked him why he didn't wash his shitty hands and he said it was because where he came from, water was in such short supply, they didn't do it that way. They also use their fingers to clean thier butts. so after the lotion, you have this shit smell with a nice lotion smell on top of it. It almost made me puke several times.
I told him we have plenty of water, he needs to wash his fucking hands after using them to clean his butt. He never did like me much after that. No one liked him either because he stunk so bad. Every single week someone would put a bar of soap on his desk and he would throw it in the trash can.

I don't know about the water thing, but I do remember when I was in Karachi, the flies were so think on the lifelines of the ship you couldn't see but half of it. This is no lie. I took a picture of it because I had never seen anything like it.
Normally when we were in port we kept the outside watertight doors open for fresh air (weather permitting, of course) but in Pakistan we were ordered to keep them closed because of the flies.
That never happened in any of the other 54 ports of call I made in the Navy.

I was going more for the B.O. route, not the wipe-your-ass-with-your-bare- hand route.
I think it has to do with the spices and heat - fenugreek is a particularly bad offender. If I eat anything with fenugreek in it and then go exercise, I can smell this sickly sweet smell on my own sweat... and to smell your own B.O. you know it has to be bad.

But remember, we use LOTS of toilet paper over here.

Sotolon is a chemical present in fenugreek, it smells like maple syrup, and it most definitely does come out in your sweat, where it mingles with your natural aromas. As far as it's popularity in Pak, I don't know any Pak recipes so idk. It is used in a bit of Indian and Iranian cooking, though.
Perhaps I am some sort of mutant and metabolize it into something smellier than most - I went for a run one day and I could smell the spice once I was sweaty, and I ate the meal a day and a half before. Who knows. A lot of spices have volatile components that aren't metabolized and are able to be sweated/pissed/spermed out.

It's logical that you would pick up on the scent of a fart that you hadn't been exposed to, and you would be shocked by its novel aroma.
You're desensitized to the farts of your own society, and more specifically, your own diet. I ate some soybeans and turkey last night, and my farts are currently high in indole derivatives - probably from the tryptophan. You can tell because they are sickly sweet, smell like a cross between crude oil and shit, and have a jasmine-like finish.
I should write a paper on the biochemical aspects of fart aroma. It's probably already been done before.

Has it EVER occured to you people to WASH YOUR ASS SOMETIME and give the environment a break
You mean if we can shower after pinching a loaf we should use the resources of water and soap (not to mention towel to dry which then has to be laundered) rather than TP which is largely recycled from other paper?
Unless you use a roll to wipe your ass, I think fewer resources are used with the TP.
Now if you have the squirts, it may take more resources to clean up afterwards with TP. But an ordinary dry turd-style BM -- no way. In fact, 90% of the time, my TP comes back as white as when it went up there.

There was an American in my cousin's college in Islamabad.
He had one real good trick. He would hold a lighter to his ass and let out a fart which would ignite and would be like a human flame-thrower.
I had no idea farts could ignite....
Anyway, he was teaching my cousin to do it one day and his parents saw him do it and he got grounded for a long time.
All the girls thought that was a tragedy. It seems if you can light your ass on fire, you can have any girl in Pakistan.

I believe the original way was using clean sand. If you don't mind walking around with sand stuck in your bum, it is best for the environment.

Yes. I use TP first to clean and then I shower and use soap and water to clean more. I am paranoid about feces, I have a real issue with it. Until Tosser said something about it, I just figured I was the only freak out there who did that.

Our water is treated. Treating water takes energy. And there's still the soap and towel laundering.
I would think that recycled paper uses fewer resources unless, as I said, you use a whole lot of it.

Goat, Yes, I hold it. I don't like to piss in public bathrooms either though, so I tend to wait until I get home a lot. When at work, I work close to home and have ran home at lunch more than a few times. I also work in an office filled with women who have made it clear I couldn't do that at work even if I wanted to.

Well, you had better crack down on that habit across the country, since the whole place might go up in flames if someone flicked their bic during the fart-off.

"WASH YOUR ASS SOMETIME and give the environment a break??? Think about all those trees going kaput for your toilet paper. Kanrei said he does, but he is one guy."
Kanrei takes a fucking shower after he shits. That means he uses about 20 gallons of water as opposed to a few squares of toilet paper (which in many cases is 100% recycled paper). How is this good for the environment?

1. Water supply can be replenished a lot faster than a tree can grow.
2. Using water doesn't release carbon in the air. Cutting down trees, does, eventually.

Those things don't bother me. I think a few germs keeps one healthy. Keeps the immune system active and on its toes. But that's just me.
I've been in some modern bathrooms that are completely hands free. Self flushing urinals. Motion activated water and paper towel dispensers. I think that's taking things to the extreme.

I don't think the number is near that high. I rarely see people fail to wash their hands before leaving the john.
I read once of a college study of hands washing habits in bathrooms whether other people were around or not. Some dude hid in a stall. I forget the exact numbers, but if there was another person present, 90%+ washed their hands. If not, it was something in the 80s%

Men maybe. I'd bet at least 75% of women wash their hands after using the bathroom, maybe more. I know I do.
Of course you wash your hands but the minute you grab the doorhandle to leave the ladies' room anyone who didn't wash their hands grabbed the same doorhandle to exit the place as you did.

I've noticed that my supermarket now offers wipes to use on them.
I think America is taking the germ thing to the extreme. The irony is that we are making it worse on ourselves. Germs mutate and adapt to the disinfectants and antibiotics we throw at them and our own immune system 'forgets' how to work on its own.
I have a friend whose aunt had that OCD thing with germs. She rarely left her house and always sprayed it with Lysol and scrubbed things with bleach. On the rare occasions she went out in public, she wore gloves.
She once got a scratch which turned into a bad infection and she ended up dying. Unbelievable, but true.
