Sorry if I offend some of you, but don't you think this is becoming ridiculous?

I read this before regarding

Last year, thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money was used to ensure toilets at Brixton prison in London did not offend Islamic law.

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.

To be honest this is Bullshit !!.....

What is BS? The bit you copied or the whole article? I'd be interested to know the truth!

sorry, the bit about the toilets in the prison.....

but i mean the term BS, as not stating the article is BS, but the fact they did what they did to accommodate prisoners needs......

At that distance half a degree's differance is enough to miss Mecca by miles.

That's a good point, even with a compass you'd miss by miles. Mecca that is, not the toilet!

The world of PC.

...Perpetual Craziness.

Arrrh ! that's where I've been going wrong. Tonight I'll keep my compass by the bed - I wondered why it was called a 'wet' room.

I have an American friend that does not eat meat - but he makes an execption and eats pork because he hates muslims, otherwise he's a sane and balanced person.

But when you use the toilet doesn't it go.......... ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

I think the idea is not to point the produce at Mecca....................

On a serious note, staff banned from wearing poppies in remembrance in case that offends that same small minority of prisoners. It is only a matter of time before some cleric declares the actual act of going to an infidel prison unholy and segregated units will be considered.

It is always said, nicks are the finishing grounds for criminals, what will the results be of segregated prisons by faith ?

At least the UK will be able to export some of the best trained separatists in the world.

Bought a compass yesterday and have worked out where Mecca is.

Next week I'll have my 2 toilets repositioned so that my family (and visitors) will face away from Mecca whilst producing.

It's the least I can do.

couldn't they just put strong magnets in the toilet that would make their compass point away from mecca. you wouldn't have to let them know that this has been done and then everyone can poo in peace.

Following on from the Olympic Delivery Authority's recent decision with regards to respecting all faiths,

City Councils around England are to dig up and re-position all sewers.

However there is now deliberation as to which way to replace them. As well as not offending Muslims to the East and the Roman Catholics to the South, concerns have been voiced by both Mormon's from the West, and Eskimoes up Norf.

There was case recently where a girl went to the high court so she could wear some form of religious dress to school, I can't even remember if she won, but when the camera zoomed in, she was wearing an inverted Claddagh/marriage ring.

I wonder if she knew what it might mean. And my point is.......................

Good Luck

When I was at sea and we had a lascar crew we always had "Mecca is three points off the starboard bow (or whatever)" as part of the midday announcement.

That's a good point, even with a compass you'd miss by miles. Mecca that is, not the toilet!

Good point, but you have to make the assumption that most Muslims don't know where The Sun is, let alone read it

In what direction do the toilets in Mecca point?

Pointed at Australia, we got 5 of the little cherubs who have been charged with wanting to blow parts of Oz up.

I am begining to think that Muslims are picking fights. They move into a ocuntry or have aways lived there just decided to be more Muslim and they know the norms and rules and break them away to play the victim. It might be a deeper campaign pushing some agenda........could be, I wouldn't rule it out. Looking for a confrontation that everyone could get behind for it has moral high ground for them. Ya know, this time the infidels have just gone to far!
