• This one writes itself.

Police chased a man in a stolen doughnut truck through the streets of Madison, Wis., and the whole thing was caught on tape.

• Don't you know that not letting hospital beds face Mecca is one of the worst things you can do to a Muslim male?

Hospital beds of seriously ill Muslim patients are to be turned to face Mecca as part of changes aimed at helping patients uphold their Islamic faith.

 

Dewsbury District Hospital in West Yorkshire will also provide Halal meals and make changes to shower facilities.

 

Staff at the hospital will take part in training sessions to teach them how to help patients with their faith worship.

 

A Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust spokeswoman said it wanted to improve its service for Muslim patients.

 

This included staff positioning the beds of "very ill" Muslim patients to face the Qibla in Mecca if requested to do so by the patient.

 

Hospital matron Catherine Briggs said she had spoken to Muslim patients about how the service could be improved.

 

She said: "We always do our best to listen to our patients and are willing to adapt our nursing practices where possible to help patients uphold their cultural beliefs."

Actually, this one doesn't sound too bad -- at least when compared to the other instances Muslims have been mad. I guess the only jihad these people can wage is with their bedpans in this case. Even during my high school years, I often questioned the Bible-thumpers that wanted prayer in schools. My question always was, "Don't Muslims pray five times a day -- what would you do for them?" Looks like I'll be getting the answer to this question soon enough.
