Dark comedy "4 Lions" has a funny bit related to that. Essentially 4 British buddies want to become terrorist jihadis, but they're pretty dumb and shenanigans ensue. The clip shows the characters arguing about the direction of Mecca with the people training them in Afghanistan.

Highly recommend the movie if anyone is into dark comedy /satire films. Similar feel to "Look who's back".
