It's not so much that there's anything particularly outrageous about this. It's just that there's this surreal disjunct between the extreme servility of British multiculturalists...

Toilet facilities are being built at London's Olympic Park so Muslims will not have to face Mecca while sitting on the loo. The Olympic Delivery Authority has said it wants to produce an ideal venue for people of all cultures, faiths, ages and abilities for the 2012 Games and beyond. The Islamic religion prohibits Muslims from facing the Kiblah - the direction of prayer - when they visit the lavatory. An ODA spokeswoman confirmed that a 'percentage of general toilets would not face Mecca' out of sensitivity.

... and the fanatic extremism of major British Muslim institutions:

A female reporter attends prayer meetings at an important British mosque which claims to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. She secretly films shocking sermons given to the women-only congregation in which female preachers recite extremist and intolerant beliefs. As hundreds of women and some children come to pray, a preacher calls for adulterers, homosexuals, women who act like men and Muslim converts to other faiths to be killed, saying: "Kill him, kill him. You have to kill him, you understand. This is Islam." Worshippers are repeatedly told they must lead separate lives from non-believers and not tolerate other religions. Christian teachings are described as "vile and disgusting, an abomination." And at private, invite-only prayer meetings linked to the mosque, the reporter films the leading preacher from the women's prayer circle issuing strict dictats on women's personal freedoms - decreeing they must not travel far without a male member of the family to escort them, and instructing them not to integrate with British society or work in a non-Islamic environment.

I'm beginning to think that piecemeal Western obsequiousness like this toilet thing - and the installation of foot-washing stations in US airports and the closing of Christian schools for Muslim holidays in the Netherlands and the de facto conversion of public prayer rooms into mosques in US colleges - is accomplishing something less than seamless multicultural coexistence.

Although talking about Christian-Muslim coexistence in Britain is going to be beside the point pretty soon.
