Sky Harbor International Airport...to help Muslim taxi and limo drivers meet religious needs.
The Associated Press ^ | 5-20-2004

Two faucets located two feet above the ground enable the drivers to conduct ritual cleansing, including washing of the feet, before they pray.

They are part of washroom facilities in a fenced-off parking lot on the west side of the airport where taxi drivers wait to be called forward to the terminals for fares.

There's an airport I'll never land at or fly out of.

This country is totaly turned upside down. An Airport, (government agency) helps Muslims with their rituals. Meanwhile, most governments sit down and roll over while the ACLU gets courts to ban crosses or nativity scences from public property.

Sick, sick, sick!!

Perhaps another "special treatment" should be invoked.

Post the Ten Commandments the airport and let's see the ACLU explain why these two are different for "separation" of church and state.

Washing is not mandated before prayer. The fact the drivers pushed for such is simply pushing to see how far it will get you. Amazing how easily cowed municipalities have become. Next loud speakers violating noise laws will be allowed - to avoid offending. No one will ask if the rest of the population is offended.

This is getting more ridiculous every day. Does Sky Harbor, or any other airport, have a Christian reading/prayer room for use prior to take-off or after landings?

Am I the only one who thinks this is damn stupid?

"Sky Harbor International Airport...to help Muslim taxi and limo drivers meet religious needs"

How are they going to "meet" those "needs"... Give them box cutters and access to 757's?

I'd bet that they don't let the Moonies or JW's recruit there either.

Nope. I think a lot worse things than that about muslime apologists and terrorist lovers.

I'd like to know why the darn muslime cabbies are even allowed to hang out at an AIRPORT of all darn places! I really think most muslimes should be put in camps until they PROVE they are not sleepers cells or part of a terrorists group.

As for me, I do not frequent businesses that are owned or run by muslimes. Just doing my part.

As the locust-like Mohammedan horde continues to grind through the West...

How soon until *everyone* has to stop what their doing so as not to disturb these Devil Worshipping scum while they "pray?"
