Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet. The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.

There is nothing in the Quran that refers to this.

Now you are starting to see the picture ;-)

Looks like the dhimmitude of Britain is in full swing.

Hey, if the imams were really bright, they could declare that just being in jail was an insult to islam and most of Europe would just release them to avoid being insensitive to the poor misunderstood members of The Religion of Peace.

So let me get this straight. It's required to have your butt facing Mecca while using the can? Damn, and I thought us Catholics had some weird rules...
