Orlando Airport To Open $250,000 Muslim Prayer Room
Tampa CBS local.com ^ | 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.

The “Reflection Room” is scheduled to be open by Sept. 1.

This is very convenient for jihadis. They can pray in the same airport they fly out of on a blowing-up-a-plane mission.

Where is the Catholic, Baptist, and Jewish prayer room? We should sue for our own

Your right, we should. In today's obamanation I doubt you would be able to get the case into a courtroom, and if you did... you would loose.

Given that Ted Cruz is an avowed Christian he might well be the first to bring it up.

Now that the White Mosque, the Army of Hasan,
the “US” State Dept and the “US” Congress
arms, protects, and defends al Qaeda against
the American people, is it ok to post those pictures
of people dying in a ‘workplace accident’?

is the airport run by the government? What about seperation of church and state?

They wont even let people put up Christmas decorations anymore but they are going to give them a whole prayer room? Are we all goig to have to listen to that horrific caterwauling call to prayer 5 times every day at the airport?

That doesn’t apply to muslims.

Did the idiots think to schedule bomb searches every hour or so? No? Didn’t think so.

"Plant a hidden surveillance camera in there"

CAIR wouldn't like that.

They would say it hurt their "civil rights."
