OH come on now if those were what they are supposed to use explain why mosques do not have them???? You arguement is weak at best simply because all mosques do not have them.

hahaha!

Just wait!

Wudu Washer: Islamic Pre-Prayer Ablution System

An automated Wudu (ablution) system that promises Muslims a time-efficient performance before each prayer has won qualified approval from scholars in the UAE.

The Auto Wudu Washer, developed by a Malaysian and endorsed by the Islamic Council of Qatar and Islamic Council of New South Wales, claims to be the world's first automatic pre-prayer washing and drying system.

Tell me it doesn't look like a Wudu-On-The-Spot

Now if they were meant for ALL why are the shower heads so low?????
Why are their benches right in front of the shower heads as they are in mosques?

Because they were intended for use by Muslims, but not exclusively.

As I said previously, I don't disbelieve the story.

Now I answered that question maybe you could answer mine:

What is your problem with Muslims?

p.s.

A sensationalised anti-muslim story this is not just look at the facts. What you have is a cover up by airport officials.

Maybe, you should concentrate on the "cover-up" then.

Oh I knew what it was alright.

I was just pointing out that most mosques do not have them, they are using ones similar to KCI.

I have no problems with Muslims. I do However, have a problem with using government funds that are used to pay for religious projects or purposes. I mentioned this previously and I pointed it out but in case you forgot already I also targeted atheists in November for wanting to silence some speakers in a church, I targeted members of a school board because of a religous Magnet on a desk. I targeted a Jewish Rabi for making a fuss about the Christmas threes in the Seattle airport at Christsmas. And those are just the most recent I can think of.

Are you forgetting it has been repeatedly stated that no public tax dollars were used to build these facilities, and the taxi and limo drivers themselves pay for it through a $1 per fare charge?

How do you feel about Airport Chapels?

Yes, and I acknowledged your policy of equal opportunities for Christians.

WE are not talking about chapels but I will answer. I have no problem at all with them since they are made for USE by ALL religions.

Also in my last post I forgot my most recent

Finally, I had to get to the fourth page for someone to mention this?

Also:

The move concerns airport police who worry about Middle Eastern men loitering inside the building. After 9/11, the airport beefed up its police force to help prevent terrorist attacks.
"Why are we constructing places of worship for them inside our airports?" said an airport official who requested anonymity. "Why are we catering to their rituals? We don't do it for any other religion."

The unamed source quoted by the unamed author makes it sound as if these facilities are in the terminal. they are way out of the public areas in the taxi/ public transport holding lot.

NOT paid for with tax dollars + NOT a security concern= NON-issue.
Typical Worldnutdaily. Trying to whip the public up over nothing.

I live in Kansas City and I have not heard anything about this, and I have been to the airport and have not seen anything. I checked the website and
nothing there either. Here is the link
www.kansas-city-mci.com...

Understandable I suppose... I guess only channel 9 [ABC] has covered the story on TV. FOX4, CBS (5), and NBC (41) didn't as far as I can tell.

Darla Jaye on KMBZ980 ran with it for two days though. But her show is 9-11am, and I'm sure the vast majority of people don't listen to talk radio during regular business hours, if at all. I listen to KCMO710 (FOXNews Radio) from 11-4 usually (Rush and Oreilly are lame) and they haven't made mention of it either.

But apparently Savage (nationally syndicated) brought it up during his show on Monday I think. I don't listen to him much, but knowing him he made a big deal out of it like *cough* someone else we know.
