Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport has opened new facilities for Muslim travelers and other people of faith.
Bush is among the first U.S. airports to offer an ablution room, an amenity that many Muslim travelers prioritize.
"It is very good to hear about the new ablution room at George Bush Intercontinental," said Fazal Bahardeen, founder and CEO of CrescentRating.com, a website focused on the worldwide market for halal travel. "Having these airport facilities is an important criterion when we rank destinations on the Mastercard-CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel Index."
The group's 2023 report commends Singapore Changi Airport for best practices when it comes to Muslim friendliness, noting its range of halal-certified dining options as well as dedicated prayer rooms equipped with necessary amenities.
The new prayer and ablution rooms at Bush are near gate D15 and the existing Interfaith Chapel. Terminal D, which primarily services international flights, is being fully refurbished as part of a $1.4 billion redevelopment program scheduled for completion this year. Improving inclusion and accessibility are among the goals of the redesign Houston's George Bush Intercontinental has new prayer and ablution rooms in Terminal D, opened Feb. 16, 2024, designed with Muslim travelers in mind.
The airport system last week opened a new prayer room, along with a connected ablution room allowing travelers to wash their hands, feet and face before prayer, in Bush's Terminal D. While the new rooms are open to all, they were designed with Muslim travelers in mind and include copies of the Quran, prayer rugs, prayer beads and a turbah, a tablet sometimes used in prayers.
“Beyond serving our guests, these facilities are also available to all airport employees, embodying our belief in fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace."

D15 would be a great location for a Harlens BBQ, in the spirit of inclusion and acceptance, of course.

At the Bagdad International Airport, the gay meditation rooms at the airport are on the rooftop.
Why is this not in the least surprising?
I don’t recall in my life seeing a candidate or his extended family (in the case of the Bushes) who unapologetically and carelessly squandered support from constituents who supported him with money and time in order to virtue signal.
Not just things like this, the Bush family also did it with illegal immigration, among other things.

I strongly suggest that our president, who is doing extremely well, turn his attention to this matter before it gets entirely out of hand.
Pork rind storage area.
Agreed. In the meantime, us patriotic American Christians should go to these so-called “interfaith” chapels, when we have time between flights, and read our Bibles and pray to the one true God. Don’t let the Muslims for one moment think they have gained a foothold. It just wets their mouths for more and more and more.
Psychological, spiritual jihad inside the republic enabled by...many.
After all, it is the religion of peace. /s

What are you going to do in the Turkish Bath?
Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
Remember, when Bush wouldn’t let Americans fly, he let Saudi Muslims fly around the country.
Saudis pay better than citizens, I suppose.
A good answer! ;-)
Still, I expect these “facilities” to be quickly taken over by Jihadists. These will be the staging areas for an attack in the airport.
geez, the next thing you know, they’ll be washing their feet in the sinks.
“us patriotic American Christians should go to these so-called “interfaith” chapels, when we have time between flights, and read our Bibles and pray to the one true God.”
Yeah, that’ll bring more people to Christ...
Read the post that you replied to. Did I say it should be done for Christian missionary purposes? Nope. Look again at the post and tell me, fellow FReeper, if the purpose is one you and all FReepers agree with (even if you disagree with the method I suggested).
