Re: Satellites witness truth of Muhammad (pbuh)
Well that's the first problem. It's not a straight line at all. You forget, the surface of the planet is curved, and so the "perfectly straight line" between two points on the surface of the globe does not project as a straight line on flat maps or photographs. Therefore, one thing we know for certain is that the straight line the film maker drew on the map is not the actual line between Sana'a and Mecca. As it passes the mountain it could be off by a kilometer or more.
That said... what makes you think Muhammad would have been a geographical know nothing? He (in case you forgot) had been calculating qibla's (with someone's help I'm sure) for many years... first towards Jerusalem, then later towards Mecca. Knowing the qibla from Sana'a pointed towards Mount Deyn is hardly a miracle. One need only look.
