Are you serious? I thought the Northeast/Southeast thing was a closed case?
Do you pray South-east at home? Do you believe that 99.99% of the Muslims in Canada are not praying in the correction direction?!

its definitely not 99.9% brother. this thing was started by a pakistani mathematician (not alim) who wanted northeast and slowly people became divided. then a decision was made to make it one or the other, ISNA is the group with money who chose northeast. masjids were changed to northeast because of this. This was maybe 20-30 years ago and even though i wasnt born, this story was related to me by my teacher who went with some other muslim brothers to ask someone who remembered this and knew what had happened.
