A Dutch police station trying to help Muslim detainees face Mecca for their prayers painted arrows in cells pointing in the wrong direction. The Segbroek police station in The Hague borrowed the idea of putting compass marks on ceilings from an Amsterdam hotel. Muslims pray five times a day, facing east in the direction of Mecca. But the arrows in Segbroek pointed west. 'This is a really gigantic, stupid blunder,' a police spokesman told the De Telegraaf. 'The faulty compass marks have been immediately corrected. It is a mystery for us how this could have possibly happened.'
