    A rather amusing manifestation of dhimmitude.

    So its better for your rear to face Mecca when defacating? It is really a wonder that the human race has made it this far.

    A Muslim really has to worry about which direction a toilet faces?

    If there really are space aliens observing Earth, I would just love to read what they think of us.

    Jihadists have now surpassed the Texas Longhorns for longest active winning streak.

    Yes, but do you think the Jihadists could beat Ohio State in the Horseshoe - AT NIGHT?

    LMAO! Good one, gwayneco, thanks for posting :D

    Now excuse me while I parse through the holy texts to find a reference that bans toilets from facing mecca; this is a new one...

    Gwayneco, man you have a lot of hate against Muslims... you must waste a lot of time looking up articles like these, a normal person wouldn't go out of his way for posting an article everyday which has the same theme. There is definitely something disturbing you, you need help.

    for those of you saying that the world is round, and that you can face your ass towards mecca.

    the islamic way says that

    'do not face the front or back towards the Qiblah (when relieving onself).'
    (Tirmidhi vol.1 pg.8; HM Saeed Company)

    the qiblah would be the way we face during prayers.

    it is a sign of respect.

    Never heard of such thing, and may be it would make sense in a Muslim country where houses/facilities might be built to comply with these specifications, but not in a British jail.

    Come to think of it, my house in Saudi had a toilet facing the qibla..crap!

    again, if you read my post in the other thread it clearly specifies that there is a strong opinion that if you are relieving yourself with a barrier b/w you and the qiblah then there is no problem. its just when you are in the open...

    I dont think you are qualified enough to lay judgement on where it would make sense to comply with the specifications or not.
