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.
Right now thousands of Persian men are pissed off...literally.
I can’t think of anything more Islamic than a urinal.
This is why they’re so backward.
and in the distance, the Iranian parliament could be heard shouting “death to urinals”.
Rumor has it that men have been urinating for quite awhile ...?
And for most of our human history, they’ve done it wherever the urge came on.
“Urinals Removed from Tehran Shopping Malls”
Since when did Swedish women get the right to configure shopping malls in Iran?
Remember, the Iranian people have the very government their parents and grand parents rioted for in 1978.
Enjoy!
You all still aren’t getting my first comment. Or maybe you missed it in the news
“$1.7 million public toilet officially opens in San Francisco’s Noe Valley “
from the article:
“A $1.7 million toilet in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood is now open.
It actually only cost the city around $300,000 after two companies donated materials and installation.
But the original $1.7 million dollar price tag sparked major backlash, and prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to pause that state funding.”
Point being?
when it comes to governments and toilets money always gets flushed down the drain.
From The River to the Sea, I gotta Pee!
Yes but sitting down...or standing on a soft surface?
Is there a command to that effect in the Koran perhaps?
Sir Richard Burton (the 19th century linguist, not the 20th century actor) was nearly “outed” for standing in a urinal.
He was in an Islamic country...I don’t recall if it was the search for source of the Nile or something else.
The Babylon Bee is going to have a field day with this story.
You know there was an article about the Shah’s son, Prince what-ever-his-name-is.
I can’t help but wonder if after all is said and done he won’t be back on the throne in Tehran.
It’s an old story, and it’s California’s problem.
I bet, and I’m waiting for it.
That story was posted April 17, 2024. What is old about it is that it took years and years to build the darn thing!
Because ‘being Islamic’ means you can pee wherever you want to?
I’m confused about this ‘Religion of Pee.’ *SMIRK*
Just call ‘em footbaths.
The urinals that **** me off are the ones that don’t flush.
I used to service those things how they stank from heavy use.
