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.

Actually, I was thinking it was kind of . . . flakey!
We can thank our Leadership, who are now 'comotose' as per Liberal-induced PC; and so no longer care to distinguish our Constitution from Sharia law. . .
I’ve got about 50 out-of-date freeze-dried MRE pork sausage patties. If these were powdered in a food processor, what could they be used for? Hmmm...
I have wondered, do Muslim women wash their feet and pray 5 times a day too? Are there foot baths in the womens restrooms too?
We therefore free massage parlors for the Hedonists, chapels for each denomination of Christians, Temples for the Jews and Buddhists, separate chambers for the Wichans, and an empty room for the Atheists who want to get away from the deists. It will calm them before they fly. Where’s the separation of Church and State that’s so popular with the pinkos? I guess all we need are a bunch of Presbyterians to blow up Manhattan and threaten to bomb the United States out of existence and they will be entitled to their own ritual places too.
Maybe someone needs to take some bacon in to wash. Some of that bacon sure needs a bath. Too much salt. ;)
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.
Yes, Muslims (most) are from desert countries, were, water is very scarce commodity...have to wonder about all this washing of the feet....
In which terminal is this? I’m at KCI every few weeks and I haven’t seen one (not that I’ve looked).
Somehow, it just reminds me of an asian squat toilet (not that it looks like one). Wonder if it’ll work the same?
Just had a thought, instead of installing these foot washing basin could we just dump about 500 pounds of kitty litter in an old unused storeroom?
I’m curious as to what they use to dry their feet. Do they bring their own towels or will the automatic hand dryers become hand/foot dryers?
You didn't think those prayer rugs were really just for squating on, did you?
Strange looking urinals but I don't see why anyone couldn't use them.
Muslim prayer....
I never bothered to read about their prayer until now...if you have to skim, especially read near the bottom:
The Partial ablution
Nullification of the Ablution
The Complete Ablution

Actually “DIM” should be “DIP”. I guess I am a dimwit for not dipping right! Duh.
“YOU EVEN HAVE PAPER HANGING IN THE TOILET TO DRY THEM!!! Freaking religion of scum.”
lol
Feet? Where do they wash their rears? This is taken from the website in my post #55....
“Also, after natural discharges, water should be applied because the use of toilet tissues may not be sufficient for the purpose of purity and worship.”
They don’t wash their asses. They rub them in Marxist Dimocrat’s faces who kiss their asses.
