A large compass on the chapel floor helps guide Muslims who pray toward Mecca.

And of course the airports in Riyadh and Damascus sport crucifixes and stars of David.

if Christians do not fight every little thing like this they will be incrementally wiped out just like in the UK.

Of course. /sarc No, I'm sure they don't.

But in fairness, a "compass" (I assume they mean just a N/E/S/W orientation on the floor) is not a religious symbol, it's a pattern on the floor. It's not the star-and-crescent Islam symbol, so while it's there to be helpful to Muslims, it's still a secular thing itself, and would be neutral to other religions. A fine line, for sure.

On the other hand, if it's marked with a signpost "This way to Mecca", then I do have a problem with it, unless there's also a signpost pointing toward Heaven marked "This way to Jesus". The story doesn't say, but I sorta doubt it.

Are these chapels on private property?

How crude.

In this modern day you would think they would have GPS to point Muslims to the moon rock.

I used to enjoy flying.
Since 911 it has become almost unbearable

What, no foot baths? Behind the times...

Floor sinks to accommodate prayer requirements for Muslim taxi drivers will be installed at Indianapolis International Airport by fall.

Take down the cross and you MUST destroy that compass.

If I see a mooselum with his butt in the air, I will feel justified in KICKING the HELL out of him! Just go back home!
