A ROW has erupted over Muslim-only washrooms at La Trobe University that can be accessed only with a secret push-button code.
Muslim students have exclusive access to male and female washrooms on campus, sparking claims of bias and discrimination.
The university and Islamic leaders have defended the washrooms as vital to Muslim students' prayer rituals.
...
Australian Family Council spokesman Bill Muehlenberg said concerns over the exclusive facilities were valid.
"Do we have a Christian washroom or an atheist washroom?" he said. "The whole thing is madness."
...
"If Muslims are saying 'we are good Australians and want to integrate', why are they insisting on separate washrooms?" he said.
Victorian Muslim community leader Yasser Soliman said the washrooms were necessary.
He said the separate facilities were also due to concerns from non-Muslim students.
"Muslims need to wash their feet before prayer and in the past there have been complaints about them washing their feet in sinks, so this is a happy medium," he said.
Mr Soliman said most universities provided Muslim-only prayer and washrooms for students.
A La Trobe University spokesman said the washrooms were established with the advice of senior Muslim religious leaders.
He said the university also had a Christian chapel with a meeting room and four chaplains from major denominations had offices.
La Trobe University Christian Union vice-president Richard Thamm backed the washrooms.
"It's part of their religion, they need to wash in a special way before they pray," he said.

A friend of mine is a truck driver. He said there's nothing worse than walking into a McDonald's bathroom which has been taken over for ablutions.
He also said that some places in Michigan he has seen signs posted on the drinking fountains that say "Drinking Water Only" to discourage people from performing their ablutions at the water fountains.
4:43 O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed. And if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands (therewith). Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.
As Mohammed,the goat felching child molester,(May he roast in Hell for Eternity)teaches,just "Rub a little dirt on it."
The thing is the demands NEVER end..
Given certain diets, paper just wouldn't be adequate to the "issues" involved.

They are supposed to use the shorter, small floor mounted sinks for that. And remember to fush them.
Special washrooms, Dont matter how many times they wash they will never be able to get the Satan out of them. We in America really need to WAKE UP as to what is really in store for us if we keep Appeasing the Enemy. As our Founding Fathers roll over in their graves, half of the Country is rolling out the red carpet for these lunitics. Red Dawn's a comin and We are still alseep at the wheel.
The demands will end when you finally decide to capitulate.
Couldn't they use the old tall urinals?
It would be interesting to sue the University under the freedom of information act for the code.(If it was in the USA)
Keypad? Mucking with electronics provide great laughs for the engineering students.
You can't expect them to use the same washrooms as the filthy dhimmis, can you?
""Muslims need to wash their feet before prayer"
Both statements are lies. In fact, Muslims are forbidden to pray, or even mention allah or Muhammads name while going to the washroom.
Muslims need only to wash (preform abulation) their hands and face before prayer, (especially if they touched a woman) not their feet.
If no water is available, they can use dirt. (dirt is cleaner than women according to Islam)
This is just more "in your face" muslim BS posturing.
Having "sex" (if it can be called that) in public washrooms is pretty much a "religious act" for gays.
"It's part of their religion, they need to wash in a special way before they pray," he said.
Why? They are going to get dirty once they strap the bomb on.
"Inch by inch, piece by piece, they push and probe."
So very, very true. There are times when I think western civilization has already surrendered to them and we just haven't been informed yet.
Soon we'll see separate water fountains, the nice one giving out cold water, for "Muslims only".
Super Glue!
The Koran says they should use an odd number of stones (best) but they can use any object they find on the ground. Maybe this bidet bum washing is a newer tradition, a result of complaints by Muslims that the "believer" in front of them had ka-ka matted in his butt hairs, or skid marks. Or perhaps the bidet is needed for students to clean up after private lessons from the Imam, how about to clean up AFTER prayers? all that prostrating, especially if they have the flu Is know to cause anal discharge, and according to one hadith, little nuggets left on the mosk floor.
