Muslims Have to Sit on Toilets Sideways

Posted by Eric at 3:40 pm. Filed under: Randomly Interesting

Thank goodness the people overseeing the prison in London had the compassion on their muslim inmates to spend lots of taxpayer money to turn their toilets 90 degrees. Imagine the horror of having to go sitting sideways.

JAIL bosses are rebuilding toilets so Muslim inmates don’t have to use them while facing Mecca.

Thousands of pounds of taxpayers money are being spent to ensure lags are not offended.

The Islamic religion prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the Kiblah — the direction of prayer — when they visit the lav.

Muslim lags claimed they have had to sit sideways on prison WCs.

But after pressure from faith leaders the Home Office has agreed to turn the existing toilets 90 degrees at HMP Brixton in London.

Keith Olbermann Blames Michelle

Posted by Eric at 11:44 am. Filed under: General

Keith Olbermann is exposed by Newsbusters, via Polipundit, for blaming Michelle for publicizing information that was in a SAW press release.

On Monday’s “Countdown,” host Keith Olbermann demonstrated, as he regularly does, why he should have stuck to being a sportscaster on ESPN (hat tip to Michelle Malkin with video link to follow). In his “Worst Person in the World” segment, Olbermann chose Michelle Malkin for posting the names and phone numbers of UC Santa Cruz students that recently forced military recruiters off the campus. In Olbermann’s words, the students, “as a result, have been inundated with death threats.”

What Keith conveniently failed to inform his viewers was that these phone numbers were actually part of a press release by the organization responsible for the protest, Students Against War. In addition, these names and phone numbers are still available at a number of left-wing websites including this one. I guess Olbermann didn’t think it was important to inform his viewers of this.
