Possible Sayid Spoiler (Not for IRL viewers)

    Watching the Season Finale of Lost something popped into my head. In the picture below you see Sayid praying.

    SayidPraying.jpg

    Now, I am unsure as to what religion he actually is, but is there not something with their prayer that states that their prayer mats must point towards Mecca. Is it possible that Sayid, in fact, knows where the island is and yet hasn't told anybody about this?

    I probably am reading into this way too much, but just thought I'd put that thought out there.

    From wikipedia
    The importance of Mecca for Muslims is inestimable. All Muslims, wherever they are on the earth, are required to pray five times a day in the direction of the Ka'bah in Mecca (located at 21°25′24″N, 39°49′24″E).

    perhaps because he's essentially going into battle?

    Compasses don't work on the island I don't think.. There may have been something in a previous episode about it screwing up.

    Naveen Andrews has just started shooting a movie, so we might not see Sayid again for a bit; I presume they need to start shooting S3 now. I suppose he can always just go missing for a while?

    Didn't the compasses start working again after the electromagnetic emission?
    It wouldn't matter - how would he know whether he was East or West of Mecca?

    as someone else said sun rise sunset.

    Lets put it this way if you start walking East you keep walking east.

    precisely, he knows the rough location of the island and can judge the direction from there

    why is it that we never see anybody sleeping? because that would be boring even just once.
    why is sawyer's hut the only one that everyone knows? well he stashes all the stuff there and he's a bit of a "possession is nine tenths/get off ma land" sort-of-guy. its relevant.
    nobody wants to see sayid praying three times in one episode. nobody wants to see jack talking in his sleep. nobody wants to see vincent taking a dump.

    Speak for yourself. Anyone with half a brain knows Vincent is the leader of the Others and watching him take a dump would explain much of the mysteries of the island.

    Ahhh this made me laugh so much I almost wet myself.

    Seriously though this sums up the way I feel about lost sometimes!! One question answered only to have 10 more opened up you didn't think of before.
