An official with Kansas City International Airport apparently has tried intimidation in an effort to eliminate discussion about the recently installed footbaths, after repeated denials they are intended for Muslims to perform their footwashing ritual before their prayers.
"That's the way I perceived it," Kevin Peterson told WND in a telephone interview.
Peterson said he shares his name with a union steward for the Air Traffic Controllers Union at Kansas City's airport, but he is not the same individual. He was sent an e-mail from airport spokesman Joe McBride, who assumed he was writing to the union steward.
"The Indianapolis Star reports that the Indianapolis Airport is installing Muslim foot-washing basins in an upcoming renovation," Peterson wrote. "The paper says that Muslim footwashing basins are already installed at KCI.
"Are you planning to issue a denial as to the purpose of the KCI basins to the Indianapolis Star?" he asked.
"I assume you are the Kevin Peterson who is the union steward for the air traffic controllers union," the e-mail signed, electronically, with McBride's name, said.
"Point number one on the first e-mail suggests that your [sic] are in the control tower near the cab facility. I read your previous e-mail on this topic. Your stance is not in the best interest of the airport and the federal government, your employer," the e-mail said.

Women could ruin this for them if they’d protest by using these facilities at least once a day. The old contamination-by-female ploy.
Unfortunately, the only women smart enough to object to creeping dhimmitude, are conservatives with too much dignity to crash a men’s room.
Pour some bacon grease in them, or throw in some pork rines.
That should take care of the problem.
So, now that they've spelt the beans, let's all milk this for all it's wurst.
If wheat go about it right, they'll end up shouting, "curds, spoiled again!"
take of the ACLU...Now, suddenly, public accomodation with Islam is just fine. Whats up with that?
Follow the money - it has sand on it.
I wonder how all this foot washing five times a day is accommodated in the Middle East? I doubt they have special foot washing stations in sufficient numbers.
a toilet religion should just use toilets....let them go back to their own countries...none of which have these baths in muzzie airports!!!
When my father worked in Saudi & Kuwait 45-55 years ago, the (Bedouin) customs were a bit different.
The ablutions involved, primarily, genital cleansing; and, if water was scarce...usually...rubbing with 'clean' sand was the acceptable substitute.
Naturally, if they could, they would also 'appropriate' company water, either by deliberately causing a line to leak; or by turning on a tap, which they had some kind of a problem remembering to turn off again, before walking away.
All kidding I might accidentally urinate in them. I have no idea what a foot basin would look like.
Nahhh, some bacon drippings in there ought to suffice.
I don’t carry bacon around, I do however have to pee every once in a while.
I use KCI quite a bit. I believe I shall urinate in some of those.
It sure would be a shame if this was repeated 20 or 30 times, rendering the footbath inoperable.
Why didn't they think of that. Could have save a lot of money and a great deal of aggravation. . .

It just proves to me that mohammadism is not a religion.
I'm mortarfied that I didn't think of that.
They don’t do it over there ...
