It’s OK to use paper if water isn’t available now. Don’t they live in desert areas? What have they been doing til now with little water available? Yuck. Also, what have they been doing here? Can shopping cart handles really be sanitized enough with the wipes provided by the store?

Not just Turks. Evidently, all devout Muslims.

The person must enter the bathroom “with one’s left foot and exit with one’s right foot

You'd think the muzzies would be asking themselves "who the hell thought that rule up?"

[SWAMPSNIPER]

By the time I finished that routine I'd be whizzing on my feet!

What do you have to say if you whizz on your feet?

[zlala]

Are there other religions that dictate toilet...um...etiquette?

“You should never touch a muslim with your left hand.”

Likewise don’t touch a muslim’s left hand.

“Glad to hear about another advancement in Islamic civilization. I guess they’ve now advanced (in part) to the 18th century? You gotta love progress!”

Great comment!

The Amish look positively modern compared to these guys.

Looks like the jihadis are on a roll. Maybe they're trying to wipe the historical slate clean. It can't be fun to be the butt of so many jokes. Maybe it's time to flush the ancien regime and start afresh.

Who knows what reforms come next? Tolerance for others? Equal treatment of women? Bathing?

[Ditter]

Well ExXXCUSEE me!!! I have been breaking your rules all my life and I will continue to break them!

Now where is my koran t-p?

[BenLurkin]

When a Muslim enters the bathroom, “one should say “O Allah! I seek refuge in you from male and female noxious beings"

The freaks are afraid of bathrooms!

If you aren’t facing Mecca when defecating and instead facing away from Mecca, then aren’t you defecating toward Mecca?

I’m surpised these people don’t just forbid defecating altogether.

[Texas Eagle]

Bunch of toilephobes.

[Happy1947]

What do they use now, a wet hand? Gross!

[Fightin Whitey]

Gotta clear out the sand and vasoline somehow.

[Buckeye McFrog]

ohhhh....when my Imam told me that it was okay to hit the head, I thought he meant....

[null and void]

Every Reformation has to begin somewhere.

No sh!t.

[CatherineofAragon]

Stupid, backward savages.

A few twists and turns to this.

In much of eastern Asia, traditionally people went out to a large field in the morning, bringing with them a small pot with water and a hand towel. After pooping, they would wash with the water and their *left* hand, only their left hand, if they had a left hand. Then they would wash the hand off and dry it with the towel.

Importantly, just water can clean better than toilet paper, and many Asians see TP as unhygienic and less effective than water.

Then the Europeans developed the bidet, which you can get used to very fast, as it leaves you “squeaky clean”. Then you just dry off with TP, so European TP is much like recycled paper shopping bags, as it is not designed for rubbing the skin.

The Japanese made a big breakthrough in the 1980s with the “electronic bidet”, which can be easily hooked up to an existing toilet.

Liberals have their “potty” issues, too! Didn’t Sheryl Crow advocate the use of only one square of toilet paper at a time?
