UK Prison Toilets Now Shari'a-Compliant

Tue, Jan 30, 2007 at 10:52:41 am PST

Some British Muslim prison inmates will now be able to Just Poop™ while facing Mecca. (Hat tip: Ladycatnip.)

Toilets in one London prison are getting a face-lift — or rather, a change in direction — to accommodate Muslim inmates who can’t use them while facing Mecca, a British newspaper reported.

Government officials ackowledged using tax dollars for the changes to the facilities, but maintained that moving the toilets was part of “on-going refurbishment,” according to an article in The Sun.

Islamic code prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the direction of prayer when they use the bathroom. Muslim prisoners complained of having to sit sideways on toilets so as to not break code.

Faith leaders in the government pressured officials to approve turning the toilets 90 degrees at HMP Brixton in London.

A member of the Muslim Brotherhood front group Muslim American Society was asked to comment:

A Muslim American rights worker commended the London prison system for their actions, but said the problem, so far, doesn’t appear to be an issue in the U.S.

“There have been very significant and numerous complaints at U.S. prisons on issues of regulating hygiene and respect for dietary laws,” said Ibrahim Ramey, director of human and civil rights work for Muslim America Society. However, Ramey said he was unaware of any specific complaints regarding the direction of toilets in U.S. prisons.

“But you’re giving me an idea...” continued Ramey.

Isn't East kinda relative? I mean, the Earth is a globe, so technically, no matter where one makes a mud monkey, it's going to face mecca.

muslims do belive the Earth is round, right? I mean, even us ignorant Christians gave up on that one.

More on the self-hating racist Barack Hussein Obama:

‘Trapped between two worlds’

Although Obama was raised by his mother, he identified more closely with the race of his father, who left the family when Obama was 2.

“I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,” he wrote.

In other words, he was ashamed of his mother's wihteness, because his black friends thought he was trying to get "in with whitey" by talking about her. So Obama chose to pretend that his white mother didn't exist. Nice guy. It gets better.

Obama wrote that in high school, he and a black friend would sometimes speak disparagingly “about white folks this or white folks that, and I would suddenly remember my mother's smile, and the words that I spoke would seem awkward and false.”

As a result, he concluded that “certain whites could be excluded from the general category of our distrust.

Golly, that's mighty white of him. So, white women who marry black men and have mixed kids, well, they're okay. Any others, the "Don't trust Whitey" rule applies. And this man wants to be our President?!?

During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

So, according to Obama, someone of a mixed-race background is an Uncle Tom House Nigga if they have white friends, or identify at all with the white part of the family. Nice. Is it just me, or is there some real racial hatred here, and not the white-on-black type that the MSM whines about daily.

“It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Yup, he sounds like a real uniter and not divider to me. No wonder leftists are masturbating in shifts over this guy.

His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss. “There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.

Harris-Lacewell said such expressions of distrust toward whites will not hurt Obama in the Democratic presidential primaries, which are dominated by liberal voters.

“To win the Democratic nomination, he's got to get a part of the progressive, anti-war, white folks,” she said. “And those white folks tend to be suspicious of any black person who wouldn’t be suspicious of white people.

And there is the really sick money quote. White Democrat liberals don't like or trust a black man unless he hates Whitey. That's why we all better pray hard that the first Black President is a Republican, and not someone like Obama, whose chip on the shoulder looks to be the size of a redwood trunk.

Oh yeah, and he's also a closet Muslim, but we've already covered that here.

To repeat myself from a previous thread-

Do British Muslims carry a compass with them to insure their butt-cracks down face the Qibla in case they have sudden need of a restroom while out in public?

Of course, that reminds me, do they even publish charts showing magnetic declination corrections for using a compass in Britain for avoiding aiming the 'brown eye' at Allah?

If I were in charge of the prisons, I would have pictures of Osama and other terrorists painted in the bowl of the toilet. How about toilets with a Mohammed image in the bowl? How about a map of Mecca? That would make the cartoon controversy look like peanuts. There. How's that for respect, you bloomin' Islamofascist complainers? You should be grateful you even get to use a plain white toilet, even if it does face Mecca.

Do they hold it in on airplanes in case the lavatories are facing Mecca at some point in flight?

What happens if eating at one of those fancy rotating restaurants? I think they have one of those, for example, on top of Reunion Tower in Dallas. By definition, several times a day, the toilets will directly face Mecca.

I'm sure it's no picnic for the janitorial staff, either.

Islamic code prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the direction of prayer when they use the bathroom.

According to Jewish beliefs one should try to not even think about G-d while going to the bathroom or even in the bathroom. An ancient Cananite cult on the otherhand worshipped their diety by dropping a deuce.

You guys are looking at this wrong:

Y'all are usually looking for easy ways to "stick it" to the Muslims. (rightfully or wrongfully) Well, it just got a heck of a lot easier. You can show your contempt for those that wish to do us harm simply by...defecating! (Something that will be occuring very very often this weekend) All you need to do is ensure that you are "doing your business" in the general direction of Mecca.

So the bottom line here is: Do your do, do it well and feel good about it. To adlib (of sorts) Nike. Just Poo it!

Lastly, I just want to comment how slightly distrurbed I am LGF seems to be concentrating a lot on bowel movements lately.

This is interesting, considering that many prisons in America no longer allow Bibles to be brought in, in the leftist spirit of "separation of Church and State", and yet, prisons would have to cater to islamics, pleasing their "religious" beliefs, while Bibles must stay out of prisons.

I'm sure the ACLU will be all over that!

I heard a Pennsylvania National Guard guy that had been assigned to guard saddam. He remarked on talk radio here in Philadelphia, that saddam didn't use toilet paper. So, can we assume that the cost of reorienting the muslim potties will be offset by the saving by not having to buy the jailhouse muslims toilet paper? Yea, we have jailhouse muslims here in the US. Oliver North has said that there is heavy recruting in our prisons. There is a lot of effort to radicalize them to be homicide bombers when they get out. The results of the War on Poverty, folks.

When I was in Bahrain during Desert Storm, we didn't even have toilets. We had some strange 7th century shitter: a porcelain 4" diameter hole on the floor that you had to squat over. If your aim was good, you'd hear the satisfying splashes from below a couple seconds after you pickled your bombs. If your aim was bad, which was often the case, UGH!

Russia wants freeze lifted on international aid to Hamas

January 30, 2007, 6:44 PM (GMT+02:00)

"The demand will be made at the next meeting of the Middle East Quartet in Washington Friday, Feb. 2, according to President Vladimir Putin’s personal envoy, Dep.Foreign Ministery Alexander Saltanov. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will attend the meeting hosted by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The blockade on international aid was imposed last year when the Hamas terrorist group was elected to Palestinian government."

Putin seems to ignore those silly little things like supplying nukes to Iran, and advanced weaponry to Syria and their ilk.

Looks like the good old days are back. Russia squirmed its way into the G-7 For what--a dual screw on us Western dupes.

84 Ed Mahmoud abu al Qahool Martyr Brigades  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 9:36:52am

It looks like DCA and BWI both inland enough to stay mostly snow (some mixing possible), 3 to 6 inches for Ground Hog day, wet snow that gets all crusty at night.

85 dave  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 9:40:29am

Someone needs to start a website where you can type in your address on Google earth or some similar program and it will check your toilet position to make sure it is pointed toward Mecca.

86 Barking Pumpkin  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 9:41:00am

Two of the three "thrones" in my house face due east. Knowing this will make taking a dump an even greater pleasure.

Lazarus: I'm not sure how the British prisons are aligned, but I've heard that at Gitmo, we actually paint freaking arrows on the floor, so the prisoners know which way Mecca is, so that they can pray 29 times a day, on the prayer mats WE supply, with the Korans WE supply, while eating the food that meets their dietary requirements that WE supply.....so I'm sure the toilets at Gitmo are facing the appropriate way, too, since we made sure to help them know which way to face. It's a shame we're such hateful, disrespectful terrorists, the prisoners at Gitmo have it better than a lot of our own citizens living in America.

It's not just irritating, though. There's a very practical downside to such religious accomodations. They see it as weakness, and are encouraged to fight on by it. This isn't just sensitivity or a little attention to detail, it's stupid and counterproductive.

You took the words right out of my mouth....every little appeasement we offer shows them that we are weak and submissive, that we're more worried about offending someone's delicate sensibilities (or God forbid, looking bad to the rest of the world), and it makes them that much bolder when fighting us. "Worry about getting arrested by the Americans? Please, their prisons are a lot nicer than the caves we live in now, and if they don't give us everything we want - or if they DARE to try to interrogate or punish us - we know all we have to do is scream to Amnesty Intl, and we'll get everything we want and more." When (false) stories about the Koran being flushed (too bad it WAS false) get more print than the torture and killing of our own citizens and soldiers, SOMETHING IS VERY VERY WRONG.

Geometrically, one cannot poop facing Mecca from the UK in any compass direction, because the Earth is a sphere. Fron Britain, facing any horizontal direction points off into space, i.e. not towards Mecca.

On the other hand, it likely to expel poop in the direction of Mecca, because the linear direction from Britain is through the Earth! Because of this, British Mulsims MUST poop upwards!

132 Buxom Annie McGreggor  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 10:48:41am

I've said this before... but for the nation of Islam to constantly bitch and moan about the western civilization and all the "unholiness" that lies within....why the F&@$ do we give a shit what they think of their toilet conditions...it's a western idea for allah's sake (shit be uppon him). Prison officials should immediately go into each and every cell and remove the "western" toilets and leave them an allah-damned hole in the floor! Then they can contort their F$@*ing bodies toward any damn direction their ass-loving allah-bitch tells them to.

I think if you tried to tell Mohammed that the world was round, you'd end up minus one head. It's an interesting point, if you go to the point on the earth opposite Mecca (somewhere in the South Pacific), and take a dump, the dump goes directly toward Mecca. A South Pacific cruise is sounding pretty good right now.......

My dad, while on business in an undisclosed location (tm) in the Middle East, said that in the more "rural" areas it was common to see men in dishdashas shaking their leg every so often. It wasn't until he was standing next to one of these guys that he say a hard-packed turd gently rolling down the guy's arch, off his sandal and onto the ground.

Granted, this was many years ago (the '70s)...

It speaks volumes about a cultural group that hasn't evolved enough to:

a) Use toilets. At all. if you've been in a middle eastern country lately, you can vouch for this. Walk through the most modern looking shopping mall (built by western contractors, mind you) and into the restroom and you'll find: holes in the floor. Hi2U 7th century!

b) Wipe their arse using anything other than their hand. Mind you the men walk down the street holding each others' stinky little hands, but the RAMifications of that are enough to make one throw up a little.

You can't comment about other countries on the face of the earth that are have backward cultures, because in every other case it's due to abject poverty. In the middle east, however, they CHOOSE to live like savages.

Ain't Islam grand?

146 ironbill  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 11:54:00am

This whole facing Mecca thing is absurd. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a belief by the Saudi clerics panel that decides on all the rules that the world is in fact flat. If in fact the world is actually round then even if you are facing the wrong direction... you are facing the correct direction. Your prayer is just taking the scenic route, if you will. The key to all this is in if the world is round. (According to Islam Columbus is still wrong)

147 Confuzed  Tue, Jan 30, 2007 12:02:57pm

For those thinking of making Koran toilet paper COMMERCIALLY, beware, a German was convicted of this "crime."

During court proceedings, the judge told the 61-year-old retired businessman that the sentence was one year because of the international political rioting and unrest in the past month over cartoons that Muslims regard as offensive because they depict the Prophet Mohammed.

The man had admitted that he had printed and distributed the paper and asserted that his motivation had been to raise funds for an "artistic" campaign against Islamist terrorism.

This is pure, utter Cacca!

Someone show me where, exactly, in the testosterone over-loaded analogy of bestiality, bigamy, debauchery, murder and pedophilia – an ultimate tome of propaganda –the book they so idolize, that it says that toilets can’t face Mecca.

I live on a compound in Saudi where the population is 50% Westerners and 50% Muslims. I can tell you for a fact that NO REGARD whatsoever was made to what direction the toilets are faced in the two-bedroom FOUR bathroom houses, here. Nor was this taken into consideration during the construction of the apartments and villas located in the center of the Eastern Province. Ditto for the restaurants downtown – and McDonald’s at the Causeway – or restaurants and several villas and apartments in Bahrain!

Enraged Badger said it early on: “…there is always only ONE faith that is catered for (nope it's not Christian, Jewish, Hindu, etc).”

May as well just go ahead and hoist a white flag! They are going to just keep pounding and pounding and pounding away at us – those of us that are the minority – until they “get it all” anyway. At some point we’re going to end up saying, “What’s the use in putting up a fight?”

Who would have thought it was so complicated!

[Link: www.askimam.org...]

Jazakallah for your advice, I though have trouble understanding your answer. You state that if the effected part (private parts) is more then a dinar (2.75cm), you must perform instinja with water. 1) Is this what you are saying? 2) If I urinate the efffected part is not bigger then a dinar, so i may use toilet paper, if a person does stool the effected part is more then a dinar, so it is obligatory to use water (this is every time a person does stool). 3) Is it obliagtory or sunna to use water for istinja or toilet paper is ok; Is the purpose only to clean? 4) If the effected part is more then a dinar and I use toilet paper does that make salah invalid? Please explain.

Found this

Q: A toilet inside the house faces the Qiblah. Is it permissible to use the
toilet, or should the direction be changed?
A: Hadhrat Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Ánhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'I am to you like a father to a son, do
not face the front or back towards the Qiblah (when relieving onself).'
(Tirmidhi vol.1 pg.8; HM Saeed Company). According to the above Hadith, when
relieving oneself, it is not permissible to face the front or back towards
the Qiblah. Therefore, the direction of the toilet should be changed.
However, if that is not possible, one should sit in a posture, away from the
actual direction of the Qiblah. (Ibid)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
FATWA DEPT.

So if you go into a public toilet and find shit all over the wall....
a) you know a muspig was there before you; and
b) you know that the shit missed mecca and hit the wall (that is the shit, as distinguishable - or maybe not - from the shitter)

Is it antiislamic to be anti islamic? Cos I'm both
