In hopes of meeting the needs of Muslim students, a foot-washing station was recently installed in Minnesota State University’s Centennial Student Union.
“What we try to do around this building is provide things that make all kinds of groups of students feel comfortable,” said student union director Laurie Woodward.
The idea was brought to the Student Union Board several years ago, but it wasn’t until the renovation of several bathrooms on the second floor that the space became available.
The station was paid for entirely through student fees. Woodward said anyone is welcome to use the room even though it was put in to serve the religious needs of Muslim students.
Foot washing is a rite observed by several religious groups. Muslims are required to perform foot washing in preparation for ritual prayer and before handling and reading the Quran. Many Muslims pray five times a day, and each time they wash their feet, hands, head and face. This process is called “wadhu.”

Foot baths again! I want to know if every shack they live in their countries of peace have one. Shaking my head again!
Muslims maybe, but I suspect the foot fetishists are behind it all.
Well, I think it’s only fair. The place has been a brain washing facility for quite some time now. Equal time for other body parts!
Step 1. Devise a PORTABLE foot-wash station.
Step 2. Sell it to 1,000,000 Muslim cabbies and students.
Step 3. Retire.
What is next? An A$$-Ki$$ing station so the Americans can serve their Muslim masters?

How about a series of FACE WASH stations for all of the ‘reporters’ with their heads stuck up Obambi’s @$$?
I’d prefer that they dispense with the foot washing and do all a favor by applying a little deodorant.
Now if the wash the rest of their body, stinking towel heads.
