[Article] Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.

There is nothing in the Quran that refers to this. It's simply a power play by British Muslims.

Concur. The term-of-art "faith leaders", I think, is a deliberate periphrasis around the Arabic term, imams, to disguise the fact that the prison Moo's have imams who are calling the shots and trying to compete with the British authorities on the subject under dispute.

Whenever Moslems challenge a host culture they are attacking, there is always a loudmouth imam out front. The British authorities should recognize this "issue" and deal with it for what it is, an attempted propaganda attack on the authority of the Crown to dispense justice to Moo prisoners under British, not Islamic, law.
