Turkish Religious Body Issues Fatwa Allowing Muslims to Use Toilet Paper
breitbart ^ | 7 Apr 2015 | Mary Chastain

Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, known as the Diyanet, issued a fatwa that allows Muslims to use toilet paper. However, the department reminded people “that water should be the primary source of cleansing.” “If water cannot be found for cleansing, other cleaning materials can be used,” the Diyanet claimed in a statement. “Even though some sources deem paper to be unsuitable as a cleaning material, as it is an apparatus for writing, there is no problem in using toilet paper.” Islam requires believers to adhere to strict rules regarding bathroom use.

When a Muslim enters the bathroom, “one should say the A’udhu (isti’adha) and Basmala and then recite the prayer ‘Allahumma innee a’oodhu bika minal khubthi wal khabaa-ith,’” which means “O Allah! I seek refuge in you from male and female noxious beings (devils or evil Jinn).” The person must enter the bathroom “with one’s left foot and exit with one’s right foot.” No one should “face or have one’s back toward the qibla (direction of prayer – the Ka’ba in Mecca) when urinating or defecating.”

Great picture! There is a huge mosque that my husband drives past every few days. Whenever he passes it he flips it the bird.

I don't think this toilet paper thing will catch on in Saudi Arabia if the Wahhabis have a say.

Wahabbis believe any Muslim innovations after about the year 950 are not acceptable.- Tom

Muslim defecation/cleansing ritual is as follows:

1- defecate.

2- use left index finger to clean anus.

3- use mouth and tongue to clean finger.

4- spit three times in the direction of mecca.

Voila! - clean anus, clean finger, clean mouth...mecca honored!

Win, win..., uh, WIN!

I’d guess that the “three seashells” would be a non-starter, then...

Reminds me of what I read on a bathroom wall.

Here I sit among the vapor,
Some da*n fool stole all the paper.
My girl is waiting, I cannot linger,
Look out a**hole here comes my finger!

I have read that moslems urinate, then use a small pebble to remove the last few drops.
In Constantinople, doctors noticed this and at night began to smear the pebbles at a local place used by the moslems with a pepper sauce.
When the moslem used the rock it irritated the penis, so they went to the doctor who prescribed medicine for it.
The doctors got rich off of this.

When the moslem bows toward Mecca, their butt is facing Mecca in the opposite direction.

At night, I go out the back porch face Mecca and let fly! Works best after a pint of tea or beer.
Wife made me stop as it was killing the grass. So I go to a different spot, face Mecca every night, and let fly.

I thought they used their left hand. And the punishment of cutting off the left hand forced the criminal to use his right hand for defecating and eating.

Great: A homicidal death cult that ALSO dictates your bathroom behavior.

Reminiscent of the childs’ game where you rub your head and pat your tummy at the same time, but with beheadings.

What if a muslim enters the bathroom with the wrong foot? Does he burn in hell?

A guy can dream.
