Nurses Told to Turn Muslims' Beds Toward Mecca
The Daily Express ^ | December 4, 2007 | Paul Jeeves

OVERWORKED nurses have been ordered to stop all medical work five times every day to move Muslim patients’ beds so they face towards Mecca.

The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.

But despite the havoc, Mid- Yorkshire NHS Trust says the rule must be instigated whenever possible to ensure Muslim patients have “a more comfortable stay in hospital”.

And a taxpayer-funded training programme for several hundred hospital staff has begun to ensure that all are familiar with the workings of the Muslim faith.

The scheme is initially being run at Dewsbury and District Hospital, West Yorkshire, but is set to be introduced at other hospitals in the new year.

It comes on the back of the introduction in some NHS hospitals last year of Burka-style gowns for Muslim patients who did not wish medical staff to see their face while operating or caring for them.

This is not a job for government-paid nurses. The Muslim community can provide volunteers for this work if they think this is important.

Can you believe this?! I don’t suppose they’re going to be told to bring wine and Communion wafers to Catholics...or even a requested Bible for that matter!

Why would you want to point them here?

Michigan has more than enough Muzzies, please don't point them this way.

Actually, it is a little known fact that many Christian denominations also take communion.

What a bunch of appeasement crap.

First thing I did was look to see if this article came from The Daily Reduncancy or Scrappleface or one of the satire sites.

WHY are people just standing back and allowing the Muslims to take over the UK???
