Orlando Airport To Open $250,000 Muslim Prayer Room
CBS Tampa ^ | August 12, 2015

ORLANDO (CBS Tampa) — The Orlando International Airport will soon be opening a Muslim prayer room.

WKMG-TV reports the airport will spend $250,000 to build the “Reflection Room” where Muslims can pray. The airport decided to build the room after Emirates Airlines announced it will make non-stop flights from Orlando to Dubai.

“These rooms provide travelers an opportunity to pray in their own way and have peace before they take on a long flight,” Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, told My News 13.

Many Muslims currently pray in public, and even the bathrooms, at the Orlando airport. Carolyn Fennell, director of public affairs at the airport, says the “Reflective Room” will give them a much more suitable place to pray.

“So they aren’t having to, if it is the case, kneel on bathroom floors or in corners so they have the reflective time,” she told My News 13. . .

Encouraging them to pray before flying.
When the bearded savages pray they hate infidels more. Sorry, don’t want to fly with a fired-up allaku akbar savage.

I am guessing this was demanded as a condition of opening the route. Call it soft jihad.

“Sick what about a place i can go and pray as a christian ?”

That was my first thought as well. So I looked, and under the airport’s FAQ’s it says this:

“church services inside the terminal?
Orlando International Airport has a chapel inside the terminal, located just beyond the west security checkpoint (Gates 1-59), which can be accessed by any passenger holding a boarding pass. “

Bull. The airport decided to build the room after Emirates Airlines told them to or paid them to.

Why can’t they simply use the same sex / unisex restrooms?

Being on their knees with their butts in the air just seems like it would work well for these worms.

I hope you aren’t showing your backside to everyone like the Mohammedans. Western civilization wasn’t conquered; it just collapsed from neglect.

Next time I’m in that airport, I’ll buy a ham sandwich and wander in there. By the way, I’m a messy eater.

Huge cultural win for muslims. (Other than the fact they run the White house, our foreign policy and make further domination progress, day by day).

Airports in Muslim countries have such prayer rooms where hypocritical pious Islamic savages can praise their bloodthristy god that directs them to honor kill and maim their daughters, subjugate all non-muslims, and lie their prayer rug raised asses off about their real ambitions for complete religious-political supremacy.
Pat Buchanan is correct: the West is dying.

I wonder who is paying for this? If it’s part of my tax dollars at work, I should have every right to go there and eat a piled high, bacon topped, bbq pork sandwich and a bag of pork rinds. I will say grace before I eat so they won’t be able to accuse me of misusing the space.

No murals of young virgins on the walls of the prayer room please. Wouldn’t be healthy!

No Christian prayer room? Time for a discrimination lawsuit.
