Dutch jail compasses do show east
2007-04-15
Reports on Friday
Before or after Friday prayers?
that the compass on the ceilings of cells at the Segbroek police station in The Hague points in the wrong direction are inaccurate, says a spokesperson for the police. There may have been confusion since a compass is usually viewed from above, while the painted image on the ceiling must be viewed from below of course. "But the compasses painted on the ceilings indicate east and west correctly," the spokesperson confirmed.
Ah, but the rumors will never fully die, and the list of "grievances" against the infidel authorities steadily grows longer...
Islamic arrestees who are being held at the Segbroek police station in The Hague have a compass painted on the ceilling of their cell so that they know which direction to face when praying.

#3  Just paint the ceiling black and put white spots on it for stars.

#2  Accommodating this evil is the same as abetting it. Force feed them pork and deport them with a certificate stating they are eternally damned to whatever passes for Hell in the Orc imagination.
