dont forget the toilet paper!

JAIL bosses are rebuilding toilets so Muslim inmates don’t have to use them while facing Mecca.
Thousands of pounds of taxpayers money are being spent to ensure lags are not offended.
The Islamic religion prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the Kiblah — the direction of prayer — when they visit the lav.
Muslim lags claimed they have had to sit sideways on prison WCs.
But after pressure from faith leaders the Home Office has agreed to turn the existing toilets 90 degrees at HMP Brixton in London.
The Home Office refused to reveal the cost of the new facilities — part of an “on-going refurbishment”.
One Muslim former inmate said: “The least the Prison Service can do is make sure people can practise their religion correctly in prison.”
But a Brixton jail officer said: “If they didn’t get locked up for committing crime they would not have this problem. Yet we have to sort out their loos. If we weren’t paying for it as taxpayers I’d laugh my socks off.”
Around a quarter of prisoners at the Category B jail are Muslims.
Labour MP Khalid Mahmood said: “As far as I understand this rule only applies in a place of worship.”
Tory MP Ann Widdecombe said: “Some common sense needs to be applied.”
dont forget the toilet paper!
They don't use toilet paper.
Needs to be repeated.
I suppose I could stretch things to the Christian principle of doing unto others as we'd have done to us . . .
However, about 98.9% of me feels like they can jolly well go back to Arabia or wherever to poop if they are so persnickety.
Hint, Jihadi's, this is THE WEST. We are NOT your lacky's on our own turf. Get OVER it!
Is there no end to such idiocies?
How long before the UK decides Muslims get a free pass to commit acts of violence, lie, cheat, and steal..because the Koran encourages it if it's against infidels? Hey, that's their religion. Let 'em all out of jail.
Tell me this isn't true. Europe is surrendering....
Great! I wonder how long before some nipplehead official demands that we do the same.
I wonder how long before some . . . joker . . .
sends such via balloon to . . . their favorite cities.
Heh heh. We might not need to nuke Iran--they could explode all on their own! LOL. . . . over silly pics!
What a savings in bombs!
You gotta be sh**ting me....er,uh....
Well gee, if they were good little CITIZENS then they wouldn't need to worry which way the toilets faced! It is a prison and prison isn't supposed to be a nice place...
He wouldn't do that...you're his favorite turd ;)
And, thus, the march of appeasement continues to conquer the Euro-weenies.
Don't Arabs use those 'squat' type toilets that look like a shower stall? Why don't they just rotate their asses 90 degrees.
They should have Jack Straw there to kiss their butts before they sit down.
They see you as inferior, the descendants of pigs and monkeys. They don't see your turf as your turf, they see it as eventually, inevitably, to be their muslim turf, and are just getting an early start preparing it, at your expense, for when they take it over. Islam means submission. That the loos are being modified at taxpayers' expense, is an act of submissions that will embolden them to demand more. You must draw the line somewhere and hold your ground, hopefully before you assume a state of full dhimmitude. What happened to the people who fought Hitler and NAZIism?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, hee, hee, hee, guffaw!
The Brits are totally nuts.
What a bunch of loo-natics.
It must really stink to be muslim when you can't even drop a load without a compass in your hand.
