I Shit In The Direction Of Mecca

Think about this for a second. The article below gives us the information that Muslims are not allowed to sit on the toilet facing Mecca:


Until recently I did not know that Muslims are not allowed to face Mecca (nor turn their back to it) when sitting on the loo. I heard about it last April when the British press reported that Brixton Prison near London is rebuilding toilets so Muslim inmates can defecate in the right direction. First I thought it was a joke. This week, however, the BBC website has a story on a housing estate in North England. The homes, with wind turbines and solar panels on the roofs, have up to seven bedrooms, kitchens that comply with halal cuisine and “bathrooms that face away from Mecca.”


Well, that's interesting. So, if they aren't facing Mecca, doesn't mean that they are shitting in the direction of Mecca?

Sounds like a good idea.

All logical systems contain within themselves their own paradoxes.

Damn! My toilet faces south. I can't shit in the right direction.

one faces east; one faces north and the other faces southwest - we wanted all the bases covered.

btw - it is my opinion that no matter where you are, you are ALWAYS north, south, east, or west of somewhere. just a feeling in have.

Pastorius said...

AOW,
I think Nanc is right. It doesn't really matter what direction you face in, because the Earth is circular, so no matter what you are shitting in the direction of Mecca, and you are humiliating Allah.

Sorry to poop on the party, but the antipode of Mecca lies upon what is left of the Mururoa Atoll, a site destroyed and irradiated in the 1970s by the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing conducted by the Islamic Republic of France.

Hey Nanc,
If you want to submit a pic of yourself, sure, you're a candidate.

Pim's Ghost submitted a pic, and then told me not to post it.

Pastorius said...

Mr. Beamish,
Thanks for letting us know about the atoll. I stick with what Nanc says though.

Al-Baqarah - 2:115
"And to Allâh belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves there is the Face of Allâh."

Happy shitting ya'll!

I have read your postings with sadness. Is it so hard for you to believe that God would send a Messenger out of mercy to mankind, to give guidance and bring benefit? It saddens me that you do not know what Islam is - it is believe that there is one God, that he has sent us many Messengers with his revelations from Adam to Muhammed (may peace be upon them all) and that there will be a day of Judgment when we will be accountable for all that we used to do.

For those of you who are Jewish, the Torah predicts the coming of the Prophet from the Arabs (the brothers of the Jews, because Ishmael and Isaac were brothers) and that he will recite the word of God (the word Quran means recitation):

The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death." (Deuteronomy 18:17-20)

If you are a Christian, Jesus in the bible predicts the coming of the Prophet and that he will recite the word of God:

'Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you." John 16:7

Take note that if in spite of the clear signs sent to you from God, you still choose to disbelieve, punishment awaits:

Quran 45:31-36

As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My communications recited to you? But you were proud and you were a guilty people.

And when it was said, Surely the promise of God is true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that it will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are not at all sure.

And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall encompass them.

And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the fire, and there are not for you any helpers:

That is because you took the communications of God for a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they be granted goodwill.

Therefore to God is due (all) praise, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.

Spill pigs blood on ground zero. It is unholy to them and thus will not build their mosque.
