Limbaugh - "Muslims would hijack plane if toilet didn't face Mecca"

[Initech]

LIMBAUGH: Well, you know, God let it happen in the first place here. I mean, you're going to -- you're going to get into a big, tangled-up mess here if you start going down that road. But speaking of the "throne," you will not believe what I am holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. You will not believe this. It is from the UK. Toilets in one London prison are being changed in the direction in which they point to accommodate Muslim inmates who cannot use the toilets while facing Mecca. Government officials acknowledged using tax dollars for the changes to the facilities but maintain that moving the toilets was part of an ongoing refurbishment, according to an article in the -- in The Sun newspaper. Islamic code prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the direction of prayer when they use the bathroom. Muslim practitioners complained of having to sit sideways on toilets so as not to break the religious code. Well, apparently, the -- they didn't just keep letting them sit sideways, because that is not how the toilet is designed to be used.

My -- my question is -- I just have a lot of questions here. Of all places, a prison? We're going to reorient the direction of a toilet because Islamic code prohibits Muslims from facing or turning their backs on the direction of prayer when they use the bathroom? Meaning, I guess, they have to turn -- they -- they can't turn their back or face Mecca when they use the bathroom. What do they do on an airplane? Go to the cockpit and say, "I got some box cutters, and if you don't turn this airplane 45 degrees for the next two minutes I'm going to hijack you"?

Can someone explain why this tepid pool of human excrement hasn't been fired yet?

[dysfunctional press]

1. because people keep listening...and some even go so far as to-

post transcripts of the things that he says to internet message boards.

3. Personally, I like the term Bill Hicks came up with to describe him:

"Scat muncher".

4. Go screw, Limbaugh

Oh yeah, no one can stand you.

5. Somehow I don't think he'd have a problem with it if

a Christian need was somehow met, oh say a chapel in the prison.

[WinkyDink]

10. Not quite the equivalent, which would be to re-orient (pardon the expression)

said chapel in order to face Jerusalem (kind of like what Medieval cathedrals do). IOW, it's the RE-construction RL is taking issue with. If it's a true story.

And it WOULD be okay if a Christian made a demand similar to a Muslim's, no?

[treestar]

12. No, and I'm sure they have chapels or whatever they need

That is more likely to be existing already.

Every religion is unique. Christians aren't going to care where the chapel faces. Muslims will care - though I didn't know they had a problem with where toilets are. And do they carry a compass, because in the US you could be going anywhere and it could face Mecca.

6. Rush IS the toilet receptacle of the far right wingers.

They are comfortable in his toilet bowl.

7. If I'm not mistaken, Limblah may actually own the EIB

(everything is bull) network.
That's why he can get away with taking drugs, mocking people and saying whatever he wants. He has no boss to answer to.
