[edit] Can we delete this article?

I've never heard such a ridiculous thing, the "references" are to news articles as there is absolutely no scientific claim that these people actually make. there is no center of the earth on it's surface. If we keep this article it should be noted that this is just a quack theory.

[edit] what is the true center of the Earth?

What is the "true center of the Earth"? Unless you think the Earth is a flat surface this makes no sense. Rune X2 (talk) 08:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

For that matter what is "Muslim scientists"? The Wikipedia article [Muslim scientists] is just a list of scientist whom happens to also have been Muslims. But this Mecca Time article seems to use the term in some other sense, as "scientist" whom use the Koran as their inspiration or some such thing. Rune X2 (talk) 09:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mecca Watch

During the conference in Qatar in April 2008, the Mecca watch was introduced. This watch is the invention of a French Muslim and features a counter-clockwise movement that helps its wearer to determine the direction of Mecca from any point on Earth. At the same conference, a paper was also presented that promoted the adoption of Mecca Time as an alternative to the well-established Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).^[1]

Sorry nothing says that it was "introduced" nor an "invention". cut and removed until Afd is finished. -BpEps - t@lk 19:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
