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.

Very true - and what's more along with irrational superstitions the mental age of say, 3 or so, is very interested, shall we say obsessed, with the act of going to the bathroom. As folks mature into the more advanced ages of 5, 6 and 7 the importance of relieving ones self tends to diminish.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

...turn toilets 90 degrees at London’s Brixton prison.

Isn't Mecca southeast of London? I knew Brits were eccentric, but I thought they lined up their walls North&South, East&West like we do... In which case, muzzies wouldn't technically be facing (or turning their backs on) Mecca when they using the toilets attached to them, would they? Sounds like a bunch of muj just stirring up **** again. Muj really needs to go home.

You Have got to be kidding...

Are you telling me their whacked out KOH-RAN says you have to take a leak a certain way.

"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."

Please point that one out... What a hoot....

Fake religious cults will try anything to exert control over the DUmmies.....

[lormand]

I have a novel idea?

How about shoving their heads in a pork fat filled toilet facing hell?

Correction, face it away from Mecca.

[Theresawithanh]

They should turn the toilets so their behinds face Mecca, if you ask me!

[workerbee]

Muslim inmates complain that they have to sit sideways on prison toilets to comply with that prohibition.

Oh, the horrors of modern British prison life.

[Yo-Yo]

I knew Brits were eccentric, but I thought they lined up their walls North&South, East&West like we do...

Have you ever seen a streetmap of London?

[muawiyah]

The issue of which direction to face when doing any number of things shows up in many religions.

Personally, I consider dwelling on such matters "idolotry". Same with how and when you might raise your arms in the sky, or ceremonially wash yourself, etc.

I've been reading "The Crisis of Islam," by Bernard Lewis, a professor of Near East Studies at Princeton. The book, written in 2002, plays it down the middle.

A point Lewis makes is, "In few, if any, Christian countries do Christian sanctities enjoy the immunity from critical comment or discussion that is accepted as normal even in ostensibly secular or democratic Muslim societies. Indeed, this privileged immunity has been extended, de facto, to Western countries where Muslim beliefs and practices are accorded a level of immunity from criticism that the Christian majorities have lost and the Jewish minorities never had."

And you muslims always remember, da imam say--

"If you shake it more than twice--you be playin' wid it"

These people are a bunch of freaking idiots.

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

"Cheap solution:
Board up and paint over any windows.
Build a winding queue out of chipboard to disorient.
Outlaw compasses amongst inmates"

CHEAPER SOLUTION.....Nuke mecca......

[joesnuffy]

They definitely are some serious panderers to criminals and terrorists..

imo

Muslim inmates complain that they have to sit sideways on prison toilets to comply with that prohibition.

And the problem is….?????

[TheOracleAtLilac]

really raises the question...

what type of crappers did these nomadic muzzies have in 650 A.D. to form this prohibition...

& why should the Brits go along w/ this childishness.

[Roverman2K]

they are making this stuff up and laughing when they implement it

[R. Scott]

From here Mecca is ESE. When setting on my john I am facing NW. I’d have to set facing the tank. At least I’m facing the correct way when I’m ridding myself of excess beer.

[wjcsux]

Where can I get Koran toilet paper?

[joyspring777]

Maybe you should draw up a business plan?

[lilylangtree]

Good grief! Just another way to spend taxpayers money on some boondoggle.

[joyspring777]

Childishness...that is the right word.

I hardly ever think about God when I am in the john. If I do, there is nothing in my mind that says...

"Oh my goodness how unholy?"

For crying out loud, He created us...He knows we are doing it.
