i do not see the problem everyone as with the prayer room, iam sure it will be open to everybody. if you want to pray go and pray, if you do not then dont as simple as:)

Yes, it is not for Muslims exclusivley. The toilets dont face east, for Muslims, if they do its just becuase that was a convieniant way to place them.


Whats the problem?

[silverscrim]

yes i agree its open to anyone they do not have doormen at churches or mousque they are open to anyone as long as you respect them so whats the problem

[Mattylad]

Personally I don't care what direction I face when I go for a poo!

I don't have a problem with the market having toilets in it, could be handy to know when caught short.

when you have got to go you go:lol:

This is absolute crap. Muslims do not poo towards meca or wish to or give a damn which way they poo.
Whats the problem with a prayer room for people of ALL religions.

[Mattylad]

Absolutely nothing.

Providing people of ALL religions get to use it.

as for the rumour about the way toilets face, it's true a man in a pub told me that his mates wifes sister heard it from her brother who's a builder & had to do it ;)

[Robert]

Sounds like it might be true then :D

Its funny how in the very first post it is stated that the room is for use by people of faith yet every one seems to be concentrating on the fact that Muslims will be using it. If any one has been to the Trafford centre prayer room they would find prayer mats for Muslims, a massive statue of Jesus for Christians to pray to and Jewish and Hindu scriptures etc. Iv never heard of any fights between Mullahs and Priests there. there is a simillar room at Manchester Airport.

I read a comment earlier about how Muslims should just lay out their prayer mats and start reading. Judging from your reactions on a "Muslim prayer room", I dont think you would appreciate Muslims reading in the open. Lets be honest, most people here would have a face on and would be complaining about how their shopping experience is ruined. Besides those points, prayers are supposed to be a moment of peace and reflection. Not exactly suited to the town centre.

As far as the toilets facing the East goes, what a load of rubbish. Why on earth would we want to face Mecca while having a poo. We face Mecca when praying as a sign of respect to what we consider a holy site.

Honestly, the people of Burnley are becoming more and more intollerant day by day. that goes for Asians aswel as Whites.

The prayer room is on the outside market it is where the fish stall used to be, I believe that someone threw a pigs head in there last week. (LOL) There is also a wash room for them to wash their feet before they got to prey. (Imagine the smell) I worship beer I can't see them getting a free bar up there, can you?
