#3 Of the 54% of the population with facilities, only only 25% of the faithful actually use them. (Saving their remaining left hands for other things.)

#7 Islam is a supremacist ideology that blinds adherents to their abject primitivism. Wherever a Muslim has a problem, the savage will always point the blame the wrong way.

Muslim countries submit statistical data to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (most post some info in English). Their stats aren't something to be proud of; of course devout Muslims are incapable of shame.

#8 The irony of this is that many eastern doctors are just appalled at the unsanitary use of toilet paper, instead of water cleaning with the left hand. It grosses them out.

#10 Recent Pakistani immigrant joined our workplace. Peed in the corner of the stall, not the toilet. My fault, m'kay, I'll add a new section on toilet training.

What interested me was that when asked to use the toilet and shown accepted procedures, her reaction at the humiliation was to tell me that she "follows Allah" and that the (very nice) washroom is "harram" because infidels use it.

I don't see her getting through probation.

#11 No doubt they'd all have toilets if it wasn't for the Jooooos.

And when you fail to keep her on after probation period, on the grounds that she failes to observe standard office hygeine or whatever, she will sue for religious discrimination. So be sure you can NAIL her on performance issues. or/and, write an explicit policy about bathroom use, back it up with a gazillian quotes from public health regulations, and restart her probation period.

#13 Thinemp Whimble2412 - I call bullshit on that one.

Although I'll admit I've never been in the stall with any of them, all of the Muslims I know use the toilet in the proper manner. (And yes, they're observant, including fasting during Ramadan.)

This is not about religion, it's about public health laws. And her willful ignorance.

But as lotp says - document, document, document! Put everything in writing. "Religious freedom" doesn't give her the right to pee on the floor. Basic public health laws/regulations do give you the right to demand she doesn't if she wants to work there.

Wotta maroon.

#14 Gotta wonder what she does in her own home ya know?

#15 Ah, that's reserved for the faithful and is therefore clean.

#16 So in other words, separate stalls from now on.

#17 The other half has toilets but refuses to use them?

#18 Barb, we had a large Arab population at our univ and it took them the first year to learn to use the toilet. They stood on it and made a horrid mess. drove the school staff crazy. Sorry, TS just might be right.

#19 Toilet lid perching it's called, correct balance is crucial. Wet Nike prints on the seat are a dead give away.... as is the muzzie no-flush policy. They really miss the small hose.

#20 Well, as long as she says her prayers to keep shitaan, err, shaitaan from looking at her private parts, all should be well, surely?
