BAKERY bosses have installed separate toilets for Muslim workers - despite having none on the payroll.
Greggs, who installed the facilities at their new £15million Scottish HQ, yesterday defended the decision.
And it was welcomed by a leading Muslim as forward-thinking, despite some complaints by workers who said they believed it was pointless.
Separate cubicles which have just a ceramic hole in the floor now sit alongside the normal loos, urinals and sinks in the factory in Cambuslang, near Glasgow.
The Islamic faith has a particular code, called Qadaahul Haajah, regarding personal hygiene when going to the toilet.
Followers also need a facility to wash themselves before prayers.
Habib Malik, Scotland area manager of Islamic Relief, said last night: "I've been living in this country for 27 years and, when you are travelling, it is difficult to use public toilets and wash your feet, face and hands in the small basins provided.
"Facilities for Muslims where they can prepare for prayers is an excellent idea.
"This company has to be congratulated."
**That's all well and good, but they have no moslem employees. Maybe they will have to set up a quoto of new employee's who have to be moslem, just to justify the expense?
The Cambuslang Greggs replaces the former flagship HQ in nearby Rutherglen.
Employees began moving into the new premises three weeks ago.
Alan Greenshields, general manager for Greggs Scotland, said: "In many of our bakeries across the country, we have had requests for toilet facilities that cater for different religions.
"In order to future-proof our facilities, we try to incorporate them where possible and have therefore introduced them in our new bakery in Cambuslang."
**Well there you go, one toilet for the dhimmi's and one for Umma. Someone is most definitely taking the piss here.

9 people have spoken:
sound rather like old South African style apartheid to me!
Toilets for blacks, toilets for whites etc.
What will they cook up next in this country in their effort to bend over backwards for this minority?
Separate Muslim only railway carriages with bulit in prayer mats perhaps? (Naturally one for men, one for women and the third for the rest of humanity)!
Speacial doors in public buildings for Muslims with racks for their shoes at the entrance maybe?
All road signs in English and Arabic - useful of course for all those Muslim taxi drivers.
This may all seem far fetched but actually I can see it happening before too long.
Down here in the humble Socialist Republic of Newportistan where I live, we have council forms in about fifty different languages.
All of which shows what a liar Brown & co are when they claim to have the British at heart.
When in Rome ... Absolutely unnecessary for special toilets for them. If anything, turn them now into toilets for women - they never have enough.
This is a country with a Judaeo-Christian tradition.
Am I missing a joke or can't you spell Muslim?
Its an alternate way of spelling - check the Wikipedia page for muslim.
The ordinary word in English is "Muslim", also spelled "Moslem", pronounced /'mʊs.lɪm/, also /'mʌz.ləm/. The word is pronounced /'mʊslɪm/ in Arabic.
Are they going to set up a fund for the Jizya tax, separate working areas & entrances for men and women, since they're forward-thinking and all that.
No Muslims on the payroll and still they have installed special toilets? Good grief!
The only buildings they need to future-proof with toilets is the prisons considering the amount of muslims getting done for terrorism offences.
True anon, maybe they should just built moslem toilets in prisons at the rate they self detonate.
