Muslim footbaths spark another fight

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.

And this is just the first bite of the elephant, a step towards Islam's desired goal which is to thrust the entire world under one single Islamic caliphate under Sharia law."

"When will the P.C. bureaucrats get a REAL clue from history and religious studies that appeasement is the WORST way to counter the growing threat from Islamic radicals? To the P.C. crowd: 'Muslim appeasement' [equals] 'showing weakness and thus vulnerability,'" she said.

Sky Harbor has the resources to install footbaths but not enough to monitor a holding cell?

Personally, I like when they install these. I find you get less “splash back” than you do with a standard urinal.

I wonder if the Muslims consider any non-Muslim using their footbaths for "any purpose" to be an insult to allah, worthy of death?

They are specific muslim facilities, theres no doubt about it.

It will end badly, some tired man or woman will attempt to wash their feet after being stuck for hours at the airport, and they will beat the hell out of the infidel.

The only way to avoid any confrontation on it is to ban any non muslim from the facility,its gonna come to a head.

You can only push so far before Americans shove back.

Usually the standard line for these airport and college footbaths is “oh, these aren’t for religious purposes, we just don’t want people who wash their feet to hurt themselves.”

How long do you think it’ll be before non-muslims are arrested who use them to wash their feet, or heaven forbid expectorate in them like they do in regular sinks?

I imagine hocking a loogy in one will be considered a hate crime...

Yes. Hard to fathom, isn't it?

as a kid, I worked on a dairy farm...we had footbaths for the cows too right at the gate from the concrete barnyard to the barn...it was a great way to disinfect their feet...cuz well, cows walk around in their own manure all day and don’t wash their feet...

I read somewhere that the janitors are having a horrible time cleaning up the toilet stall at the Fermi Lab facilities because of how our Muslim brothers stand on the toilet seats to poop. What’s next? Holes in the floor and we can call that progress.

Who can blame me if I mistake these foot baths for a new kind of urinal?

They would have to clean their pants if the cleaning facility was sand. Sand is allowed to clean if water isn’t available. The water is there, but there isn’t a basin, so sand would be allowed.

If I ever see one of these foot baths, I’ll be sure to line it with a pond of bacon.

When this is no longer chic we can use them for urinals... with “splash-guards”, of course.

And who is at the heart of this? Who is it that makes it their mission to implement as much of a religion and culture utterly alien to the American landscape?

Could it be Liberals?

The Muzziez are only a symptom of the problem, at least right now, as are Mexicans and any other readily identifiable group that can be used to help destroy the existing culture and social cohesion of the United States.

As with so many other seemingly disconnected issues, this one is sold as noble Libs trying to make the stated promise of the Unites States live up to it’s rhetoric. More supposed courage from the hopelessly narcissistic. The reality is of course that the Libs are only interested in promoting those things that corrode and destroy the existing culture or give them additional control.

Just one more facet of the war that is raging under peoples noses, but most people prefer to ignore the unpleasant task of challenging the Lib filth and choose instead to focus on the surface challenges created by the Libs - Muzziez, Mexicans, gays et al.

It’s time to focus energy on the root of the problem - The fifth column known as Liberals. Unless and until they are challenged and dismanteled the other problems like Muzziez ans Mexis will only grow exponentially, aided and abetted by the Lib filth.
