For a group of folks (Muslims) that put such concerns in their toilets that first need some lessons in personal hygiene.

At least once a day I fart in the direction of Mecca.

When I go to the airport I try to make it a regular item to pee in their footbath.

Around here the muslims are mostly Somalis. What a bunch of cockroaches. They tried quizzing the airport passengers as to whether they had any alcohol in their luggage and refused to transport them if they did. In a moment of sanity the Commission told them they'd be banned if they did it again. In the mean time we turned a non-denominational chapel into a full blown Muslim prayer hall and added footbaths to the deal.

What a crock.

So, I'm thinking make sure my toilet is pointed towards Mecca and get some some Koran toilet paper.

avoid offending Muslims.
Interesting, I had no idea that Muslims carried compasses with them at all times to check the alignment of public toilets.

I want to go to one of those Muslim foot washing basins, pull down my pants and unleash one of the biggest and most forceful, ballistic diarrhea shits ever seen by Mo Ham Head since he was a goat herder.

The Prophet Mohammed (piss be upon him) hehe

I read that no toilet in England could ever face Mecca unless it was on a 40 degree slant (curvature of the Earth). But you know those Flat Heads. They wound their diapers on too tight.

At least the Olympic toilets don't have to be torn up and moved to be oriented Islamically correctly — unlike the toilets in British prisons.

Of course not. Asian countries like China and Japan weren't stupid enough to let themselves be overrun with hostile foreigners.

Cutting your own throat seems to be a strictly western taste.

England is no longer a free nation that what happens with the EUROWEENIE UNION OF EUROWEENIES. RUE BRITANIA,BRITANIA RULES THE WAVES.BRITANAS NEVER EVER WILL BE SLAVES,RUE BRITANIA BRIANTIA RULES THE WAVES BRIANIANS ALWAYS WILL BE BRAVE

There once was a dude name Ron
Looking to take a shit in London
When the turd began to crown
No toilet was found
For fun he took that dump on the Qur'an

All right just checked with my Brit husband and he says that it offends him that the toilets WON'T face Mecca.

Reading the comment above about compasses gave me an idea. If they did use compasses, what great fun would it be to place a hefty magnet on the stall so that the toilet appeared to face toward Mecca! They complain, we surreptitiously remove the magnet, the toilet passes muster - until we replace the magnet...

Hours of entertainment for the whole family!

So let me get this right... If we put the toilets such that the BACKS face Mecca, no problem with that? ;P

:-) I think I'll start carrying a compass! Especially on days when I eat Pork n' Beans.

Make sure to plot your heading on a globe with great circle, or use something like http://www.qiblalocator.com/ You may be surprised; it's actually NE for me.

So when properly seated, facing in the approved direction, what part of the anatomy is facing Mecca?

According to Wiki, nothing. You're supposed to face neither at nor directly away from the Big Magic Rock. I especially like how, even with TP, you're still supposed to scrub your sphincter with your friggin' hand. Hey, it was good enough for the Holy Profit (not a typo) (Piss Be Upon Him, love it Evilwrench!), so it's good enough for you 1400 years later. Allah commands it. Just like screwing 9-year-olds and believing that rats are Jewish.

But then, don't trust Wiki.

How is it again that that worshiping that meteorite does not constitute idolatry?

It looks like idolatry to me.

Can I get my fatwa now?

Ah, Forest, it depends on which meteorite exactly you're worshiping. Some meteorites good, some bad.

Got it?

I want a meteorite toilet with pics of Mickey Mouse on it.

So, in which direction do the toilets that are actually in Mecca face?

(This question assumes that there actually are toilets in Mecca, a subject I have not bothered to research.)

What the frack does a Mooselimb know about sanitation?
They spend half their waking hours trying to remember which hand they used to wipe their ass. And pray they use the other one to eat.

Still the best line from Desert Storm (and this is from the boys in Saudi Arabia, NOT Kuwait or Iraq):
How do you get an Arab woman pregnant?
Cum on her shoes and let the flys do the rest of the work.

Dana,

I think they would face away from the kaba and the magic meteorite, but no infidel would know because we're prohibited from stepping foot anywhere near it.

The footbaths have been placed in public buildings in the USA on the theory that they have alternate uses, and therefore one religion is not favored over the others. Here are some alternate uses:

Dogs for the blind can drink out of them if they are trough-style footbaths. Dwarves can use them if they cannot reach the regular loo. One can cleanse one's hemmorhoids, too. Trough-style footbaths in the ladies' rooms can also be used for douching. If the footbaths are an opening in a wall with a flush valve, then small dogs can use them. One can also wash ones muddy shoes in those.
