Toilet Uproar In London Jails

Involving, of course, our friends the Islamists.

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.

Personally, I’m for turning them all towards Mecca. If the inmates don’t like it, they can hold it until their release – or consider not engaging in criminal conduct so that they don’t come back again.
