    Christians are no "better" than Muslims.

    Both are religions for weak-willed people, and there's plenty of fodder in both religions for people to preach hate.

      This is not about coddling prisoners or pandering to their "superstitions". It's about managing a (potentially) violent incarcerated population.

      If you make allowances for prisoners' religious beliefs then it's easier to keep them under control. The decision to rotate the toilets is plain old good judgement.

        Ummm


        If these people are gonna get violent cos they have to face Mecca while taking a dump.....

        If something that insignificant is gonna be the straw that breaks the camel's back and sends them over the edge to violence......

        They don't ever need to get out.

        Ever.

        And they can hold it for about that long too.

          Ken Lay never went to Church for example.
          Claiming to be a Christian and actually living a Christian life are two different things. If you are living a Christian life you won't commit crimes.

            So you think all Ken Lay needs is a little reading of the Bible to show him the light and that he's been led astray!

            Give me a break!

              Too bad they weren't this pious before they got jailed.

                  To be fair, they may've been jailed for beating their wife.

                  Which is something both the Bible and the Koran think is okay, IIRC.

                    Christians are not the ones blowing themselves up in public places in the name of their religion. That makes them better.

                        You seem to be utterly clueless as to what living as a true Christian entails. Here's a clue - it involves a lot more than reading the Bible and going to church.

                          Does it involve protesting and authoritarian hatred?

                              I think it involves bombing abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors as well .

                                No, not hatred anyway.
