Indianapolis airport officials have announced plans to add footbaths for Muslims who wish to wash before their five-times-daily prayer rituals, and that's just too much for one pastor, who has called for residents to organize and protest such an establishment of religion.
The issue has been appearing in more and more airports and other public facilities in recent weeks, where Muslim immigrants are a growing segment of those who drive cabs, and spend hours waiting on arriving passengers for their fares.
Several years ago, officials with Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix boasted of providing a new "customer service" by providing such footwashing facilities for Muslims. "The cab drivers were asking for more washroom facilities as a group, and a majority of them wanted some place to wash before they pray," Deborah Ostreicher, public information officer, told the Arizona Republic. "This is a way we thought we could reach out as a customer service."
Similar facilities have been built at Kansas City International, although airport officials repeatedly have insisted the washing facilities are for anyone for any purpose that is aided by the presence of seating and low faucets.
One editorial writer called it "creeping dhimmitude," where America is joining the "global community of nations dominated by Islam," and now Rev. Jerry Hillenburg, pastor at Hope Baptist Church in Indianapolis, says he's going to be working to halt such changes at the city's airport.

Where, oh where is the “Reverend” Barry Lynn?
Fixed it for ya.
I wonder what CAIR would say if all of the Christian churches which have foot-washing ceremonies during Holy Week showed up and used these community facilities which are allegedly available to anyone?
You had to ask? The truth speaks quite loudly!
So they can wash their fetid feet before going on to their glory of 72 virgins.
I never heard of these things before 9/11. Since 9/11 there has been a rush to promote Muslim religion and admit Muslim immigrants. A Muslim wannabe nation?
Bleah, that looks disgusting...
So what happens when someone who has to go really bad goes into the bathroom, and all the urinals and all the stalls are occupado? Me, I’m pissing in the footbath. Is that a “hate crime?”
“Any purpose” such as “freshening up” my porcine guide animal? Ya think they might be slightly outraged?
...or before America goes over the cliff.
(Not sure it's the former anymore.)
What is the percentage of Muslims in the USA?
This footbath thing - never heard of it until recently - on THIS site. Here in the UK there’s the usual demands by muslims along with private & public entities pandering to them, but nothing about footbaths. Are these things common in islamic countries? Would have thought a number of them don’t have running water much less expensive specialist fittings such as these.
I could relate a true life experience at this point, but I don't think I need to be more graphic now do I?
I posted a link above to a post entitled "All Your Toilets Are Belong To Us" that answers that very question.
Why don’t they just buy oder eaters?
Last night, on another FR thread (about the banning of holiday celebrations in a school district in Michigan) I asked if anyone (on that thread) had the link to the ‘muslim percent of population.’ It is a listing, in increments, as to what happens to a society when muslins are 5%, 10%, 20%, etc. I was surprised that the Michigan district in question was a stunning 30% muslim. If anybody can link or post that listing it would add much to this discussion (and I will bookmark it).
My bad!
