Is that right next to the Catholic chapel which is adjacent to the Jewish mini synagogue, which abuts the protestant chapel???

“Currently at OIA, many Muslims pray in public or even in restrooms. There is also a non-denomination chapel where prayer rugs are available.”

There is already a non-denominational chapel for people to pray.

The Muslims apparently don’t have to use the non-denominational room that everyone else uses.

They get their own room.

Last time I was there I spent all my time between flights searching for the Christian “Reflective Room” but no one seemed to know where it was located.

This is just where they worship. If this were some kind of courtroom, I too would be alarmed. I don’t know if the Airport has any other choice. Let’s hope the Wiccan’s or those involved in Santeria will not be closely following. I think the Scientologists also have their own Meditation Room, and have for a long time.
I understand you would be concerned about them using this place of worship to preach hate against the west, and to do so under the heavy cloak of their own Arabic language, one that is unknown to most Americans.

If someone is kneeling in a bathroom, it sure isn’t to pray!

The fedgov put foot washing basins for the African Muslim cab drivers in the new Indianapolis airport.

Great places to pee, don't even have to stand up before those urinal thingies...

“There is a chapel in the airport already.”

You are correct. There are chapels in airports across the U.S.

However, they are never dedicated to a specific religion.

Having been in dozens of airports, the only religious rooms or “airport chapels” are never designated to any specific religion.

They are purposely ecumenical, in order not to offend anyone.

Even while the same ecumenical “prayer rooms” and “chapels”, which have attempted to serve all “faiths” have long been offensive to true message of the cross.

An Islamic prayer room in such an important public transportation facility will be a first.

Already, every time we bend over further to placate or compromise with islam, we loose American soldiers and lives, as well as, more of our own freedom to our own authorities.

Seems to work out quite well for a government with an ever increasing thirst for control of society, doesn’t it?

Isn’t it ironic, that we are the ones who have been forced to give up our privacy, to be searched from head to toe in airports and other important locations, while the muslims who are at the root of almost every attack in the past few decades must be searched in such a way as to not offend them.

I hope so.

Which airports? I have never seen one. Atlanta has a smoking room, though.

I’m pretty sure the San Francisco Airport has a Christian Science Reading Room, or did at one time. Same with the Detroit Michigan Airport. Little sofa rooms that are usually empty.
