British Government Builds Muslim-Friendly Apartments



New flats for elderly people have opened in Bristol - with toilets that do
not face Mecca.

The Muslim-friendly Very Sheltered Housing (VSH) scheme in Lincoln Street,
Lawrence Hill, also includes beds that allow a tenant's feet to point in the
right direction. Lincoln Gardens cost more than £6 million, has 55 bedrooms and
was put up by the city council and the Guinness Trust on the site of the former
Wainbrook elderly persons' home.

It
includes 19 flats suitable for "tenants from the Muslim community" following
local consultation.


A council spokesman said: "The toilets in these flats are orientated so
that the user doesn't face Mecca."

Beds are placed so that feet are facing south east and not north
west.


If you think about it, if the toilets face away from Mecca, that means you shit in the direction of Mecca.


As I understand it, the British government was also kind of to think of the needs of the needs of these elderly Muslims in that they have provided Koran Toilet Paper, so they can continue to read the Koran even as they do their toilet.

OT . . .Over at Ezra Levant's blog, he is covering the Mark Steyn/Mcleans tribunal.

Noting that I try to avoid using the identifier "muslim" and subsititue "muhammadan" as much as possible . . .here is confirmation, yet again, why. heh

Bilal,
It's great if you want to live in peace alongside your Christian, Jewish, Sikh, and Hindu brothers and sisters in the UK.

HOWEVER,

Muslims are NOT entitled to their own neighborhoods.

That goes against the Freedom of Conscience and of movement that lies at the foundation of Western Civilization.

If you think Muslims should be allowed to have their own neighborhoods, then you should move to a Muslim country. Because, ultimately, Sharia-loving Muslims are NOT going to win this fight.

Bilal Bokhari,

You think we insult Islam? If you are a Muslim and you seriously want to stop the Insulting of Islam, condemn the Jihadists. The Jihadists do more to get people to look down on Islam than anything else. Besides, you don't think Muslims being unwilling to live as equals in Western societies, and assimilate, instead of insisting that west live according to their values, makes non Muslim Westerners angry at them?

You must respect our customs. Here in our country, we do all our best reading this way. It's a kind of multi-tasking, where we read and then re-use the book as toilet paper. It started as an ecological initiative, and has become a way of life.

Please respect us and our way of life.
