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.

Just let it be widely known that Jews are using the baths to wash their feet and the Muslims will refuse to use them. They are open to everyone aren’t they?
Why we are letting these 7th century cultist freaks into America in the first place is beyond me. We are rapidly sowing the seeds of our own destruction. Can anybody tell me what advantage there is to allow these people in?
Strangely enough, in all the hundreds of discussions I have read on the internet, I had never seen this statement before.
Suppose I had medical instructions to rub lard, five times a day on a medical condition in my feet...? So long as I am as neat about use of the facilities as anyone else, I am free to do so, correct?
Funny thing that.
In every discussions in which muslims have taken part, they make it crystal clear that the facilities are for the exclusive use of muslims...
Not that that means anything, officially and legally, but the first time that they attempt to assert that exclusivity by force, they have solved the problem for the rest of us...
No, our Elected Public Servants have sold us out.
