Following the construction of the world's largest clock in Mecca which dwarfs London's Big Ben there is a growing hope that Mecca Time will replace GMT as the new universal time standard.
GMT was imposed by the west in 1884 when in reality Mecca is the global meridian as it is the true centre of the world. Naturally there will be the usual white male outcry about another chipping away at the West's history particularly as the tourist industry over at Greenwich may take a hit. The Muslim response should be to press ahead with plans for Mecca Time and revert to the glorious days of Muslim civilisation when Muslim scientist Al Jazri built the first clock.
