Manchester Provides Homes with Loos for Muslims The Brussels Journal ^ \| 07/28/2006 \| Paul Belien brusselsjournal.com 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.” The estate, developed by Manchester Methodist Housing Association, has been built exclusively for Muslims because, as one of the residents says, “We’re all Muslims here so yes, it is important [to live exclusively among Muslims]. For myself I’m not really too bothered but to a lot of the Muslim people, yes it is important to them and yes it is a very good idea.” Try to imagine what would happen if a housing company in contemporary Europe were to develop a project exclusively for non-Muslims. Undoubtedly there would be an outcry, while anyone in contemporary Britain who would dare to state (even in a private conversation) that “to a lot of non-Muslims people, yes it is important not to live among Muslims and yes it is a very good idea” might find themselves convicted in court for racism. Meanwhile, one wonders how easily a non-Muslim British family would find an affordable seven-bedroom home. Perhaps there is no demand for such homes since there hardly are any large non-Muslims families left. Many indigenous Brits no longer procreate. It is sometimes said that the birth rate in Muslim families will drop, too, when immigrant families become affluent and secularized. Manchester Methodist Housing Association, however, clearly does not think this will happen soon, otherwise it would not be building state-of-the-art houses for large families with bathrooms for Islamists.

Högsby killer loses deportation appeal (honour killing in Sweden) The Local ^ \| 08/02/2006 \| Adam Ewing thelocal.se Sweden’s Supreme Court said on Wednesday it was not going to take up the case of the 18-year-old man convicted of killing 20-year-old Abbas Rezai in an alleged honour killing. An appeals court confirmed the original sentence of four years in a secure youth detention unit, followed by deportation. The man wanted the country’s high court to rule against his eventual deportation to Afghanistan. Rezai had a relationship with the 16-year old sister of the convicted man. The prosecution argued that this was why he was killed, calling it an honour killing, and said that other members of the family had participated in the murder. During the attack, Rezai was scalded with hot oil, hit with a variety of objects and repeatedly stabbed in the back and chest. Most of the stab wounds were sustained after death. He was also almost entirely scalped and one of his fingers had been partially chopped off. The 18-year-old, whose family is originally from Afghanistan, said that he alone was responsible for the killing, claiming that it followed an argument between him and Rezai that had spiraled out of control at the family's apartment in Högsby, southern Sweden. Rezai was found dead in the family's apartment in November last year. The family had disappeared to relatives in Denmark, although they later turned back and handed themselves over to police.
