They can try all they want. They just will get "Thanks but no thanks" response.

They can call it whatever they want in their own country, but don't expect the rest of the world to change from GMT to Mecca time just because the Saudis say so.

Maybe this is part of the reason that the imam in NYC wants the US to be more Shari'a compliant.

First step by the Radical Muslims in their quest of global domination by an Islamic Caliphate. Get your guns ready, boys.

They can't do that, then the Rednecks would want to change CST to "Miller Time". LOL!

We should build a church and synagogue right next to the giant clock.

I can see the song parodies that could come out of this.

"Living on Mecca Time...."

And I really give a damn because? I live in the United States, on Central daylight time right now, in a few months, I'll be back to CST.

What the Saudis want to do, is their business. When we get off of oil, they won't matter anymore anyway.

I like that!

So, living in the Miller Time Zone, we could start referring to the Eastern zone as "Damn Yankee Time" and Mountain time as "Texas Suburb Time".

But what would we call Pacific Time Zone????
