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.
