Israel Airports Authority reveals plans to set up a Muslim prayer room at country's international airport in bid to build bridges with Israeli Arabs

The Israel Airports Authority (IAA) Thursday ordered the establishment of a Muslim prayer room at Ben-Gurion International Airport to serve the port's Muslim passengers.
The room will be expand on 20 square meters (215.28 square feet), will be lined up in a southeasterly direction and will include an alcove facing Mecca.
Rugs will cover its floor and a 35-centemeter (13.65-inch) high bench will be installed.
A small library of Quran books will also feature in the facility, which was conceived by officials at the Ministry of the Interior.
"The initiative to set up is another step in efforts undertaken by the IAA to improve relations with the Arab sector, and came about after requests to the IAA that a prayer room be established. The initiative is part of a number of projects initiated by the Israel Airport Authority to improve relations with the sector," IAA CEO Gabi Ophir said.
The IAA says that a 24-7 team has been set up to relay to the management demands and complaints by minorities.
Team members also assist Arabic speaking passengers at terminals and security check posts.
The Citizens' Accord Forum between Jews and Arabs in Israel conceived the plan that aims at encouraging dialogue between Arab passengers and the IAA.
The IAA recently launched an Arabic-speaking version of its website.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Israel is doomed then......this is appeasement.
....tell me when the muslims states like Saudi Arabia etc lets Christians and Jews practice their faith...then I will say it is equitable.
I look at these Muslim prayer rooms kind of like their mosques. Good place to hide terrorists and IEDs. Slick mfs! ALWAYS up to no good!
This is a travesty!
So Israel is trying to hasten its own demise. This is very sad. This sort of thing will not be appreciated. Instead, it will be used to plot against the Jewish state.
Why are countries choosing to eliminate themselves?
Hahahah... The stupid infidel is building us a prayer room and we don't pay a dime
Heh Heh. Those wily Israelis! They are using that room and probably have a bomb detecting machine hidden under the floor aloong with one way mirrors and microphones.
We should circulate that rumor and disrupt praying Muslims. Or plotting Muslims. I distrust their praying.
I feel so un pc!
Jews everywhere should demand KOSHER FOOD CONCESSIONS at airports everywhere.
Nothing sucks more than being stuck at an airport with NO FOOD except for chips and pretzels and whatever other junk you can scrounge. I do not understand why there are no kosher food concessions even at JFK, La Guardia, and Ben-Gurion does not even have a Mehadrin concession.
What next, their own bathrooms?
Yeah, I heard they're also setting up a kiosk in that same prayer room to make available wires, batteries, maps of major cities, etc.
Seriously, I hope that room is monitored closely. Metal detectors, audio/video, etc.
Who would ever have believed this?
There is a large shopping mall in Northern Va. and you cna see these idiots praying in the children's play area.
I wonder what mall security would do if they were Christians praying ontheir knees?
***What next, their own bathrooms?****
That is the prayer room. They pray toward the toilet.
Sarc/off
Bomb scan upon exiting the room?
"I wonder what mall security would do if they were Christians praying on their knees?"
Maybe somebody ought to try it. That'd make a good test case.
I wonder, do the muslims scare the kids?
So until they do it, we shouldn't do it?
I'd rather think we should do what is RIGHT, and then push for them to follow the example.
I usually wouldn't say this, but...
****PUKE****
yeah peace in our time....that works evertime its tried.... Screw Islam!!!
If we ignore them, will they go away?
Or do you have a more pro-active solution to the problem?
To show its goodwill the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will soon arrange for a synagogue to be opened in Jeddah airport.
/youknowwhat
Yeah but think of what Shin Bet will capture with hidden mics and cams...
My post could be read as a bit harsh, I apologize.
So in other words because nations like Saudi Arabia don't have freedom of religion Islael shouldn't either?
I wouldn't call it harsh...stupid, simpleminded, simplistic yes, but not harsh.
I know what happens when you try it in front of an abortion clinic...
How many airports in Muslim Countries have Jewish or Christian "Prayer Rooms"?
Are non-Jewish citizens tax exempt?
"I know what happens when you try it in front of an abortion clinic"
Well sounds like we have a new plan for abortion clinics, get Muslims to pray in front of them!
Are non-Jewish citizens tax exempt?
Muslim Israelis suck up tons more money in welfare payments than they pay in taxes.
"Yeah but think of what Shin Bet will capture with hidden mics and cams."
Had the same thought.
One must be employed to pay income taxes.
Arabs are good at avoiding this.
Duly enacted in by representatives of the Jewish majority, in "The Only Democracy In The Middle East" ™.
Get your Pope to tell the truth about Islam instead of apologizing for offending them--->>>
Stressing that the words were not his own, he quoted from a book according to which, the Pope said, the Byzantine emperor Manuel Paleologos II said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
The Pope's intent was to invite, bluff, or shame Muslims into a dialogue about the relationship of faith and reason. If you've been paying attention, you know that certain Muslim elements have actually responded to this challenge. Things move slowly in this sinful world, but the Pope has nudged things in a positive direction.
Best wishes to a Happy Hannukah.
Good for the Pope! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you where you will hopefully keep your eye on the ball- Islam, not Israel. Israel could disappear tomorrow and Muslims would still be on track to swallow up Europe. The largest mosque in Europe is in the Pope's diocese of Rome. Beware!
