I’d love to catch one of them washing his feet in a public restroom and dump pig blood into the basin.....

The cleaning is Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder institutionalized.

If they fart or have impure thoughts during it, they have to begin all over again.

How do we get it through to the Dhimmilibs that they also would be subject to the Convert/Enslave/Kill triad if they get their way.

"Why do you think Jesus practiced the muslim’s style of washing?

Jesus taught foot washing in order that his Disciples might learn Humility; there is nothing Humble in this Religion! Their philosophy is "Convert or Die"! No comparison!

Somehow, the American Civil Liberties Union - normally given to howls of execration at the mere thought of a creche in any semipublic place at Christmastime - is not challenging any of this. Why?

Because the real enemy of the left is Christianity not religion per se. The left ultimately fights what is good.

I am aware that the people of Jesus’ time washed their feet (and there are references to the cleaning of other peoples’ feet).

Did they actually perform the Islamic wudu ritual on themselves and start over when they farted?

That is exactly what I would do if I saw one.

It’s not a matter of what a business does to accommodate its patrons. If it were, I would agree with you. When tax dollars are used to fund many of these Muslim footbaths, such as in universities and airports, it becomes preferential treatment of one religion.

This whole idea of needing foot baths in public places is absolutely brand new. Even in their own homes, Muslims preparing to pray do not bother to take a bath each time, and you do not see even 1% of Muslims praying five times a day ANYWHERE in the world. It’s simply not do-able, except in the most extreme Muslim totalitarian states, such as Iran used to be, where there was severe punishment for failing to stop every activity 5 times a day. (Don’t know if it still is.) Demanding special baths is a ploy to force the dhimmis to “feel themselves subdued.”
The common practice is to have a fountain outside a mosque, or sometimes showers inside mosques, where Muslims who gather to pray together can bathe. I have NEVER before heard of needing them in a secular location.

I am saying the ACLU is not being hypocritical at all. The ACLU is simply acting the way it always acts with regards to Christians, because it is an anti-Christian organization.

What is hypocritical of the ACLU is, they don't outwardly claim to be anti-Christian. They claim to be protecting the rights of all, but in effect, their actions only support selective groups.

The ACLU is rabidly and fanatically anti-Christian. They are well known and consistant bigots and anyone who does not know this is blind.

You could grab a lib by the back of the neck and rub his nose in the reality of what we face,

and he’d still blame the “white male” for causing the problem.

Alot of truth in that observation.

Lock and Load. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better, I’m afraid.

I completely agree with that viewpoint.
