Islamic Toilets.

[trisha]

Jail toilets face away from Mecca
Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet.
The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.

Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.

2. Islamic Toilets.

Whatever the directions may be their heart is towards Mecca.
Mecca is their idol.

10. Mecca is not "their idol" it's considered a "holy place" much like

Bethlehem & Jeruselem are for "Christians".

6. IE "Tricia" is Bill, tombstoned and back for more?

I agree - just trying to waste prime blog space on aimless chatter. Otherwise, "Tricia" would have moved to the Lounge, as he/she has already been politely advised to do.

5. Other DUers have told you to post this blather in the Lounge.

You are wasting prime blog space on your dithering pointless threads. Why haven't you moved this nonsense to the Lounge? Let me see, why could that be?

8. Just a question?

Why is the Religion/Theology section the wrong place for this? Just asking.

After all, it is about Islamic customs and how we have to conform our culture as not to offend them, even people in freaking jail!!!!

If Christians had asked to build a new whatever in a certain fashion, there would be derisive laughter and scorn all over this thread

I could understanding you're complaint if the poster put it in breaking news?

11. Do you have anything more specific

than a new "whatever" in a "certain" fashion. I would really like to know how our American society is shitting on the rights of Christian inmates. Please do enlighten.
