Jail toilets face away from Mecca

Jail toilets face away from Mecca

Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet.

The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.

Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.

"The refurbishment has been carried out with due consideration for all faiths", a Home Office spokeswoman said.

Yeah you wouldn't want to sit on the throne and gaze South Eastward to that huge cat box called Saudi Arabia.

Is it just me or have some people gone so far around the bend they can see up their own asses?
