Weren’t the Muslim students complaining about falling on their butts while washing their feet in the sinks? That would be a funny sight to see, LOL

Further, the ACLU explains, the university's decision to take on the $25,000 expense was motivated primarily "by health and safety" because some students didn't like washing their hands in the sinks after others students had washed their feet.

Which is worse?:

1.Paying for the foot baths
2. Everyone having to wash their hands where other people wash their feet plus dealing with the additional germs spread because no one wants to wash their hands.

Hard to say.

On a related note, when the new library was built in Seattle, a newspaper article quoted (non-Muslim) homeless people who were saying that the new library bathroom sinks would be a great place for them to wash their feet.

"Hey Bubba, look at these new funny urinals they got in here!"

They don’t need new footbaths...They already have footbaths in the restrooms...One flush and they’re clean...

It seems that a lot of us had the same idea. I’m sure that some of the Frat boys will try them out just for the fun of it. Amen.

It was the "Flush Twice-It's a Long Way To Mecca" stickers someone put on them that must have set them off, huh?

Could be worse. Imagine if you were required to wash your privates rather than your feet. On second thought, dont.

The sad thing is we have to fight these idiots in our own country. They are making every attempt with the help of the ACLU to eat away at the foundation that makes this country great! WE BETTER WAKE UP!

Hopefully, one of these days, we will be able to see the funding from the Opecker thugs to the ACLU which has set up America a playground for Islamofascist thugs.

If a free Iraq survives all of the bs, the ACLU execs just might find themselves whisked away to Iraq to be tried for war crimes against innocent Iraqis.

One would hope that they didn’t have a sign saying Muslims Only” and that anyone could wash their feet in the foot bath.

Most large buildings have the necessary facilities already in place. It's called a "janitor closet". Inside is a handy device called a service sink. It's where mops are cleaned, and washbuckets emptied. It looks a lot like a mooslim footbath, and is very handy for janitors, too. It's also a whole lot cheaper than a gold-plated footbath.

So the logic is this, “non-muslims can use the footbaths too.”

But prayer in school or freedom to not pray in school is prohibited.

Am I missing something again?

For now, but you just wait until some kid trys and wash his feet after playing volley ball or basketball. Watch the stuff hit the fan..

Then there would be “pork sniffing dogs” and anyone with a BLT would be prosecuted for a hate crime. *Sigh*

I was actually thinking about washing a hog in it.

They call hate crime.

Then I will ask them how they feel that nearly all the vegetation in the US is aided by pig and cow manure.

Given that so many aclu lawyers are Jewish, this raises the term “useful idiot” to a new level.

This began with the prayer stations in Giants Stadium. This is a slippery slope. The funny thing is these Muslims are going to cut the throats of the fruity lawyers in the ACLU first.
Let us stop acting as if these people beliefs coincided with our 21st century society. Enough. We as a society are allowing people to rip the Crosses off War Memorials and put footbaths in bathrooms. If I see a footbath, I will treat it like a urinal.
