Using modern technology and satellite imaging, Canadian historian Dan Gibson has discovered that early Islamic mosques were oriented to four different places. And they are not where Islam expects them to be.\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003csup\u003eFor the first time in history Dan Gibson has undertaken a comprehensive survey of Islamic mosques from the first two centuries of Islam. Using this data, Gibson demonstrates that Muhammad and the first four caliphs all prayed towards a different place  This location was also the focus of their pilgrimage. Gibson believes that Muslims are disobeying their prophet by focusing their prayers on a Black Stone in Saudi Arabia, when the Quran commands them to face the original location.\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003csup\u003eThis book contains all of the data behind the documentary film \u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003eThe Sacred City\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003csup\u003e.
