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.
Thank goodness /s
$250,000 ain’t much.
I certainly hope CAIR approves.
Just in time to commemorate those September 11 2001 attacks on the U.S.A!
“yes America... we are remembering you...in our “prayers”
Where is the Catholic, Baptist, and Jewish prayer room?
We should sue for our own
I wonder if construction workers will be searched for bacon when building it.
Good to be at peace before an episode of airline jihad.
At least you get them all in one room if you need to take care of them in a hurry.
I think many airports have Chapels or christian prayer rooms already, so I suppose this move is not that disruptive or unexpected.
Yup. But Christian leaders are gutless cowards.
Sick beyond belief.
I bet some Republican frontrunner hits this soon.
I wonder who it will be.
It seems all leaders these days are gutless cowards. It doesn’t matter what profession you talk about. Local mayor, or leader of a major country.
I learned everything I need to know about savage muslimery on 09/11.
Doesn’t say who is paying? Taxpayers? If so, where’s my Christian prayer room? Or the Athiest prayer....oh wait, they don’t pray.
A quarter of a million dollars isn’t much when you want to dance for the muslims.
QUESTION: WHOSE quarter of a million dollars ?
ding! winner
