‘Islamic car’ to have compass to find Mecca
Hat Tip to Gramfan for finding this.
I am actually for this idea. First, they have to figure out a way to magnetize Mecca, which should keep them busy for a while. Secondly this will make tracking Muslims easy. No non-Muslim would get caught dead in one of these vehicles and thirdly any Muslim who uses an Islamic car for a VBIED goes straight to hell for blasphemy.
I see no down side to this idea, Islamic cars for all Muslims, allahu ackbar babe.

MALAYSIA, Iran and Turkey plan to build an “Islamic car” fitted with a compass to find the direction of Mecca, and a compartment to keep the Koran in, the Malaysian state news agency said.
Malaysian automaker Proton’s managing director Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said during a visit to Tehran that the vehicle would be aimed at the global export market.
“We will identify a car that we can develop to be produced in Malaysia, Iran or Turkey,” he told the Bernama agency in a weekend report.
“The car will have all the Islamic features and should be meant for export purposes,” he said, adding that it would feature a compartment for keeping the Muslim holy book the Koran, and prayer scarves.
Syed Zainal said the vehicle was an Iranian initiative.
“What they (Iran) want to do is to call that an Islamic car,” he said, giving no further details.
Proton announced last week that it had won an order to supply 5,000 units of its compact Waja model to be used as taxis in Tehran as part of the city’s 200 million dollar public transport renewal initiative.
Proton has been trying to kick-start its export market as it attempts to halt a sharp decline in domestic market share and stem a series of losses – attributed to a lack of new models and a reputation for poor quality.
It is in negotiations with German auto giant Volkswagen over an alliance that it hopes could turn its fortunes around.

Ironic that Volkswagen is going to be in on it. And another positive: we’ll be able to see them coming
Apart from their clothes and malevolent appearances !

Forget to say the more lunacy that comes from islam, perhaps the better for the uninitiated!

I think the car should only drive towards Mecca. Eventually, all of the moos will pile into the ocean around the SC coast, were we can make a nice coral reef.

I have another place they can keep the qur’an and that is in a dumpster that is on fire!That is where it belongs unless it is being used to learn about ones enemy.
As for the car as long as it is a one way trip I say go for it. BTW what export services and what other Islamic features? Maybe it is a place for explosives, etc. Sure would be nice to know.

They can fill these “Meccamobiles” with the hate that comes with every refill as shown in the gas station killings in Detroit…make that the outskirts of Dearbornistan. Care to guess ownership?

Shut up and quit complaining.
At least you don’t have to finance the damn thing.
Proton’s Mounting Woes…
