British authorities are spending taxpayers’ money to rebuild prison toilets so Muslim inmates don’t have to face Mecca while using them.
The Islamic religion prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the Kiblah — the direction of prayer — when they use the toilet, according to the Sun newspaper in London. Muslim inmates complain that they have to sit sideways on prison toilets to comply with that prohibition.
But now jail officials have bowed to pressure from Muslim leaders and agreed to turn toilets 90 degrees at London’s Brixton prison.
Authorities have refused to reveal the cost of the project, which they say is part of an "ongoing refurbishment.”
Around a quarter of prisoners at the prison are Muslims, the Sun reports

I can see the posts to this one.
"What a bunch of cr**"
The thing is, this is government gone stupid, dumb and foolish.
I don't think this makes sense at all.
You don't like it? Then don't go to the bathroom...just hold it!
Superstitious craptrap...
I'm turning MY toilet to face Mecca.
Cheap solution:
Board up and paint over any windows.
Build a winding queue out of chipboard to disorient.
Outlaw compasses amongst inmates.
Are they kidding? Make the Muslims move ninety degrees.
"Flush twice. It's a long way to Mecca!"
I would be totally fine with this. If I was in charge I would take taxpayer money and build them new toilets...
One stipulation - ALL toilet paper in the prison would have to bear the image of Muhammed on it.
Add in the discussion on how the muslim astronaut(Russia is sending a muslim into space) will pray.
I cant figure which is the most ignorant, the muzzies who wont crap facing mecca or the Brits who give a damn.
happy constipation to these crazy criminals.
Least the British prison authorities are not yet turning tricks for their Moslem prisoners ~ one does hope.
The whole thing is beyond pathetic.
I will GUARANTEE you that there are toilets ALL OVER THIS WORLD, and muslims have used them, and they don't know which way Mecca is.
This is a lets-be-a-pain-in-their-butts issue, and I would say tough...live with it.
Ya know, I can remember when I was about seven years old, thinking crazy things like that -- like my left foot wasn't as good as my right foot, and the number 7 was better than the number 4. This toilet thing is like how a kid thinks. It's like these people never developed as adults or something.
You, you mouhammed prison persons, go boil your bottoms you sons of a silly man, brothers of pig-dogs.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I blow my nose at you, I fart in your general direction. (Clapping gauntlets on head)

So these guys need a compass to crap?
If you can't do the crap, don't do the crime!
