Muslim prayer rooms should be opened in every Roman Catholic school, Church leaders have said.
The Catholic bishops of England and Wales also want special toilet facilities in schools to be adapted for Islamic cleaning rituals.
Their demands will shock both Catholic parents and the Government because they go way beyond the legal requirements on catering for the rights and needs of religious minorities.
But the bishops are keen to answer critics who say religious schools sow division - and to show that they are leading the way in building bridges between people of different faiths.
The bishops acknowledge in a new document proposing the measures that 30 per cent of pupils attending Catholic schools hold a non-Christian faith.
"If practicable, a room (or rooms) might be made available for the use of pupils and staff from other faiths for prayer," the bishops said in the document, Catholic Schools, Children of Other Faiths and Community Cohesion
"Existing toilet facilities might be adapted to accommodate individual ritual cleansing which is sometimes part of religious lifestyle and worship,” they said.
"If such space is not available on a permanent or regular basis, extra efforts might be made to address such need for major religious festivals."
The Islamic cleansing ritual, called "Wudhu", is carried out by Muslims before they pray.
Islam teaches that Muslims are unfit for prayer if they have not performed Wudhu after breaking wind or using the toilet.

One popular reason advanced by Catholics is the superiority of the education. Which might be. At the same time the Catholic schools don't ask you to show your papers (your visa to be in the country, etc.) Plus, Catholic schools don't force you to convert.
Ever since the Reformation Catholicism has become almost as mamby-pamby as Methodism.
Gaaakakakaka~~ (sceaming and running off into the distance).
Are CATHOLIC prayer rooms available in muslim schools???? I dare say “NO!!”

Good question. Probably there are a few Muzzies in Catholic schools because the quality of the education is superior.
What has happened to England is coming soon to a country near you. They are about 20 years ahead of us in the process.
Why are muslim students going to a Catholic school anyway?
How nice,catholic suicide.
What percentage of pupils attending Muslim schools hold a non-Muslim faith?
Top Muslim Calls for War Within the UK!!
Excerpt:
Psycho Islamist Anjem Choudary has called for the blood of the non-Muslim Brits to run in the street. He wants an apartheid in the UK and for Muslims there to force non-Muslims to wear signs like the Nazis did to the Jews in WW2.Muslims don't want tolerance, they want total dominance.
It was a British Bishop that sent Joan of Arc into flames for wearing men’s clothing.
“I think it was Arnold Toynbee who said it and Mark Steyn prefaced this in America Alone that civilizations don’t die from foreign conquest. They die from internal suicide. Its a reminder the barbarians within are dissolving the bonds that has held the West together for thousands of years.”
Ever wonder how all this was possible considering how oppressive and intolerant white men are supposed to be? We gave our society and culture without a shot being fired.
That is tragic and depressing. I will feel better later today after watching Ms. Pelosi light the Capitol Holiday Tree. /s
I'd like to understand their toileting practices, I'm taking a nursing assistant course.
Who can subscribe to such lunacy? God is offended by the normal function of the digestive system? It's a good idea to wash after using the bathroom on grounds of pure hygiene of course, but why make it a prerequisite for prayer? What does the Qu'uran say about praying while sitting on the john? Blaspmemy? Islam was invented to punish people who love not the truth.
Oh, and how many madrassas and mosques have rooms dedicated to Catholicism, my dear bishops? Wouldn't it be a good idea to take advantage of the fact that some Muslims attend Catholic schools to introduce them to the beauty of Christianity and the merciful love of Jesus, rather than bending over backwards to appease them and confirm them in their misguided beliefs? If they don't like it, they could always leave and go to another school.
This is true love for one's neighbor?
Two thoughts come to mind:
1) It gave new meaning to the word "pew".
2) If this were a madrassa, and he laughed at a farting imam, he probably would have been decapitated.
He used to travel as an advance man with Sukarno so he'd been plenty of places.
Frankly, I've never asked these guys around here about it.
And in a spirit of tolerance and mutual interfaith respect, the bishops will press for a Muslim to be made a bishop to serve the needs of Muslims in Catholic schools.
Mohammed said that, when water is not available, it is ok to cleanse oneself with sand. I'm not kidding!
Videoes are the best way to undestand this sad reality...
