The Dallas-Fort Worth Airport has reportedly scrapped plans to install Islamic footwashing stations, Fox News reported.
The news follows Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directing a review of state grants that operate airports in Texas after Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport reportedly planned to build ablution facilities for Islamic washing rituals.
Abbott posted on X.
“Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others.
DFW plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities are illegal. I've directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation, and referred DFW & IAH to USDOT for investigation.”
Abbott said he referred DFW and the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston to the Department of Transportation for investigation.
“That is illegal. Both airports are government-owned facilities.3 Both the federal and state constitutions prohibit government from facilitating this sort of discrimination. Just as the government cannot favor the secular over the sacred, it also cannot favor one religious view of the sacred over all others in our “pluralistic society.”

"DFW was in the process of evaluating an internal proposal to add a set of ablution washing stations on the pre-security side of Terminal D, the international terminal. Like all proposed projects, the airport ultimately considers the operational benefits, customer service impacts, operational risks and costs before approving them," the airport told Fox News.

DFW Airport’s ‘Interfaith Chapels’ Replace Crosses With Muslim Prayer Rugs
Don’t they have urinals? Don’t they have toilets?
I’m sick of hearing Abbott called a RINO. I wish he was the Governor of Georgia.
Nothing says assimilation like taxpayer funded Islamic wudu washing facilities.
I want a picture of Mary and the baby Jesus I can kiss before I board the plane, first!
Where will I store my pork rinds now?
Welfare benefits given to anyone who cannot work because of their religion for any reason should be cut off.
That’s the state promoting or religion by funding it.
God Bless Greg Abbott
Oh darn. I was going to wash my dog.
Next places to butt in the air and all women must cover up because the sex fean muslims
This wouldn’t have been the first Islamic foot washing facility at a Texas Airport.
It would have been, perhaps #3.
Houston’s GWB International Airport has a footwash facility inside its’ Terminal D interfaith chapel, through the public restroom.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport also has such a facility set up, also inside it’s Terminal D restrooms.
A recent plan to install a stand alone facility for ablutions was dropped.
I wish he was the governor of Oregon.
Fires are burning in Oregon and it took Gov. Kotex almost a week to do ANYTHING about it.
She’s more interested in overwhelming every TV channel with her, “I will protect Oregon from Trump” adds!…….Probably with money from her CCP friends.
My error, to repeat info on Dallas Fort Worth.
I should have read the article - more.
Well ... I was kind of looking forward to dropping a deuce in one ...
Thank You Lord!
You actually raise a good point. DFW airport should cater to the 'internationals' and remove all of the seated toilets and replace them with holes in the floor, with a couple of marked foot pads. And then take out the urinals and replace them with seats for the European men to use, since their women don't want them to stand when they urinate.
I was camped in an RV park just outside of Yosemite a few years ago. Late in the evening a caravan of Muslims came in.
They all went to the sewage dump site to use the hose to wash their feet...The sewage dump site was right across the street from the public showers.
