Urinals Removed from Tehran Shopping Malls for Being ‘Un-Islamic’
Iran International ^ | May 11, 2024 | staff

Posted on 05/11/2024 6:15:42 PM PDT by Morgana

Shopping malls in Tehran are removing urinals, branding them as "un-Islamic" and indicative of "Westoxification."

A fatwa by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei says it is Makrooh (disliked but not sinful) to urinate while standing or on a hard surface, forcing men to use the pit latrines instead.

The move has sparked widespread discourse and critique on social media. One user expressed frustration, remarking, "This is ridiculous! If they'd spend more time worrying about the economy, the starving people, the water shortage, they wouldn't have to worry about how men urinate."

Another user sarcastically said, "I hope the level of your demands always remains this profoundly high, and that your minds never get bogged down with demands for trivial matters like city beautification, increased security, or economic improvements. Demands should only be for issues like hijab and the Islamic way of dressing, as these are what truly elevate people's quality of life."

The removal of urinals is just one example of how the Iranian regime continues to exert control over the minor details of the population's personal lives, from dress codes and family planning to restroom habits.

Encountered several of these in the middle east, even more fun with the port-a-potty version. But at the palace in Baghdad they were of the finest quality porcelain:

I’ve seen those before but forget what they are called.

If a person is old and has bad knees I can’t imagine how they use them.

now that the British ruling elite’s selling out the place to the Islamic invasion, this will have a short life:

Another natural consequence of Jimmy Carter preventing the Iranian military from protecting their nation against these medieval savages. A single anti-aircraft missile could have brought that twisted bastard Khomeini to his just reward before he did so much damage to Iran and the rest of the world. F you, Jimmy!

And for most of our human history, they’ve done it wherever the urge came on.

I sure hope they’re removing all the western style toilets too. Everyoje gets to squat over a hole. Islamic progress right there.

I often wonder if they grasp how stupid they appear to the rest of the world. Its like the enormous fat feminists with bullhorns wailing and crying about how hard it is being on a hunger strike for 12 hours.

In Islam, you squat over a hole in the floor:

Come on. We women have done it ‘in the field’ when it was necessary!

But everyone has a duty to follow accepted social usage, whenever possible.

I’m confused.. If you have to pee in a hole in the floor instead on the wall, why wouldn’t you still stand to pee?
