For all the crap I throw Timmeh Blair’s way, I really didn’t think he was capable of something as base as this:

EXTERNAL COMBUSTION

Mohammed gets a motor:

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.

It also stops working five times every day. For prayers.

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.

“Aimed at.” Unfortunate choice of words.

“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.

Via Alan R.M. Jones, who suggests a naming comp: “My vote is the Martyrmobile.” Well, seeing as nine eleven is already taken …

Stereotype, vilify, smear. Muslims = terrorists; Islam = dark ages. Build it (the post) and they (the rednecked, racist commenters) will come.
