Looks like infidel capitalism and entrepreneurship not Sharia finance has solved the age old problem of muslim hygiene in a manner that will give a "boost" to even the most hard core Islamist's toileting rituals.
The company Total Hygiene is calling it the"most advanced toilet of our time. The new Clos-O-Mat Palma Vita combines the appearance of a conventional toilet with douching and drying facilities, in one stylish unit no bigger than a traditional WC."
Clos-O-Mat Palma Vita
"One simple press of the flush pad (by hand, elbow or body pressure) or the remote control hand switch triggers the flushing, washing and drying process. Pressing the flush pad starts simultaneous flushing of the unit and douching with warm water, heated as required to body temperature. Releasing of the flush pad triggers warm air drying for up to three minutes. If necessary, an additional push at any time can repeat the drying cycle. The functions can be stopped at any time simply by standing up. The process eliminates the need for toilet paper, and hand or body contact "
Let's hope that this new bidet-like toilet (with proper positioning) answers the prayers of devout muslims and allows them to practice their long list of mandatory Islamic toileting rules:
- Say before entering the toilet: In the name of Allah, O Allah! I seek refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things (Al-Bukhaaree)
- One should enter the toilet with the left foot and leave with the right foot.
- It is not permissible to enter the toilet whilst carrying or wearing anything bearing the name of Allah, such as the Quran, or any book with the name of Allah in it, or jewelry such as bracelets or necklaces engraved with the name of Allah.
- One should remain silent whilst on the toilet. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is forbidden.[2]
- One should not face nor turn your back on Al-Qiblah whilst relieving yourself.[3]
- One should be out of sight of people when going to the toilet[citation needed]
- It is considered forbidden to relieve oneself whilst standing up, lying down or if you are completely nude.[citation needed]
- One should avoid going to the toilet anywhere where people may take rest or gather for any purpose.[citation needed]
- Do not raise clothes until you get close to the ground and do not uncover the body any more than is needed.
- One should sit on the feet (e.g. squat) keeping thighs wide apart with the stress on the left foot.
- Do not look to the private parts of the body nor the waste matter passed from the body.
- Do not sit more than needed.
- Do not spit, blow nose, look hither and thither, touch the body unnecessarily nor look towards the sky but relieve oneself with the eyes downcast in modesty.[citation needed]
- After relieving oneself it is essential to perform Istinjaa (washing with water) of the anus and/or genitals with the left hand and water.
- Other than toilet paper, water and the left hand Istinjaa can be performed with earth, grit, stones and worn-out cloths provided they are all clean. It is forbidden to perform Istinyaa with bone, any edible item, dry dung, baked brick, potsherd, coal, fodder, writing paper and anything which has even a small value.
- After this process the hands should also be washed.
- When leaving the toilet one should also say a prayer, "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."[4] LINK TO ABOVE
For additional information and relgious text citations regarding muslim toilet protocols go to:
More than likely your tax dollars will pay for the purchase and installation of millions of these water closets as multicutural worshipping government enablers and local and national Dhimmis rush to install them EVERYWHERE.
"Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief"
Indeed. If only he would...
(I think you know what I mean).

I don't quite fancy washing MY ass and genitals with stones and grit ! Ouch !!!

Please tell me that this is a hoax! Even Christianity, Judiasm, Buddahism, Hinduism, etc doesn't tell how one should "do their business"!
Posted by: D | November 01, 2008 at 11:50 PM
No, no, Mr or Ms D, It's very much not a hoax. Islam regulates EVERYTHING.
Using a toilet in a muslim country is impossible, as usually the floor is swimming in water containing fecal matter which they've just washed off.
Posted by: jerry | November 02, 2008 at 07:24 AM
This is to funny. Is it made to actually squat on? If so why wasn't it just built as a hole in the floor? Oh that's right the floors of Muslim bathrooms are covered with water containing fecal matter. That explains the need for a foot wash. Why did we have to put foot washes in some public restrooms when they are not covered with this filth?

Oh great, something else to deal with. First there was the Americans with Disabilities Act which forced we plumbers to make a number of subtle yet annoying changes to how we do our job. Then there was government intervention that insisted the entire porcelain industry develop toilets that flush effectively with a gallon and a half of water. Didja know that when the senators responsible for this minor shift in industry standards had to start dealing with these toilets in their offices they came up with an exception that allowed them to have the old 3.5 gallon flushers? And now I'm going to have to deal with a bidet-let. Would you people please leave my trade alone?!?

And muslims claim muhammad rid Islam of superstitions...

These are ok but too expensive and not so easy to intall. A much more practical approach is the Bathroom Bidet Sprayer from http://www.bathroomsprayers.com .They can be added to an existing toilet without a plumber and they offer superior water flow and control over the built in bidet. They also don't break as easily and are easier and cheaper to repair.

The demand for Muslim schools comes from parents who want their children a safe environment with an Islamic ethos.Parents see Muslim schools where children can develop their Islamic Identity where they won't feel stigmatised for being Muslims and they can feel confident about their faith.
Muslim schools are working to try to create a bridge between communities.
There is a belief among ethnic minority parens that the British schooling does not adequatly address their cultural needs. Failing to meet this need could result in feeling resentment among a group who already feel excluded. Setting up Muslim school is a defensive response.
State schools with monolingual teachers are not capable to teach English to bilingual Muslim children. Bilingual teachers are needed to teach English to such children along with their mother tongue. According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second language if his first language is ignored.
Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Muslims
have the right to educate their children in an environment that suits their culture. This notion of "integration", actually means "assimilation", by which people generally really mean "be more like me". That is not
multiculturalism. In Sydney, Muslims were refused to build a Muslim school, because of a protest by the residents. Yet a year later, permission was
given for the building of a Catholic school and no protests from the residents. This clrearly shows the blatant hypocrisy, double standards and racism. Christians oppose Muslim schools in western countries yet build
their own religious schools.
British schooling and the British society is the home of institutional racism. The result is that Muslim children are unable to develop self-confidence and self-esteem, therefore, majority of them leave schools with low grades. Racism is deeply rooted in British society. Every native child is born with a gene or virus of racism, therefore, no law could change the attitudes of racism towards those who are different. It is not only the common man, even member of the royal family is involved in racism. The
father of a Pakistani office cadet who was called a "***" by Prince Harry has profoundly condemned his actions. He had felt proud when he met the Queen and the Prince of Wales at his son's passing out parade at Sandhurst
in 2006 but now felt upset after learning about the Prince's comments. Queen Victoria invited an Imam from India to teach her Urdu language. He was highly respected by the Queen but other members of the royal family had no respect for him. He was forced to go back to India. His protrait is still in one of the royal places.
There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

Iftikhar Ahmad, what does your post have to do with the subject?
Please don't dilute the comments with completely off-topic posts.

There are Jewish regulations for how to go to the bathroom. In fact much of Muslim regulations are similar and derived from Jewish sources. The significant difference is that Judaism does not impose private functions on the public.

@lftikhar:
To take you points in order.
1) 'develop their Islamic Identity' - this is the job of parents and imams - not schools, who should be developing the children british identity.
2) Man countries in Europe (Switzerlan, Basque, parts of Austria/Italy) have multilingual citizens. The schools have ONE language.
3) 'an environment that suits their culture'
They have this right, which is why it appears the emigrated in the first place. They chose this country and culture. Now they say they made a mistake and what us to change into the country they left? This is madness.
4) 'institutional racism', islam is NOT a race.
Many races live happily in the UK. If there is racist, which may be the case, it is individuals against indeviduals. Our refusal to embrace your religious bigotry is not racism.
5) 'Muslim community schools' - surely this is the most bigotted attitude, seperating people into diffent 'communities' is not multi-cultural it is muslim supremism.

"According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second language if his first language is ignored."
Please quote your sources, preferably from recognised psychologists specialising in language development in childhood, rather than religious sources.
It is a recognised fact that the best way to learn a language is the 'immersion' system: a child is immersed in a language with no possibility of evading the language being taught.
This has been successfully used in Switzerland, Pays Basque and Central European countries for many years.
It has been successful in America for hundreds of years.
It was successful in England when I was at school there, a number of my class mates had non-English speaking parents for whom they translated, none of these children had any difficulty in learning the language or being erudite it their second language. Many of my friends and colleagues have children who speak one language at school and another at home, all are fluent in both languages.
On the contrary, given the possibility of switching to their mother tongue whenever they are in difficulty actually slows the learning process.
All children are exposed to peer-pressure, insisting they remain ‘different’ for the sake of your religion/culture, to the detriment of their natural development is irresponsible, selfish and appalling.
