im not missing an point
your just afraid of what Could happen
so you believe these muslims who ask small requests like these are going to take advantage of this and ask for more. sorry but i find that tad islamophobic as yoour implying all these muslims want is to get their own way. granted there are a few who would.

THEM? Whoa, borderline racism there shots. Why does this scare you? You might like a Hallal meal? I've had them, they're actually better than most. You have to rethink your way of life? Not likely.

What is your fear shots, let's meet this head on. We can get through this together.

i wont argue on this as i find it hilerious but the rest of your examples and thoughts , you should have an idea of my views on them.


Yes it sure is funny yet keep in mind the ones making these demands are the very few who are the same few radicals who want to destroy the free world.

Also I find nothing wrong with your points they are fine. I just happen to think the select few are the ones we should be concerned with is all.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing on some points that is what makes the world go round

If you need to ask that question obviously you have not read their threats towards the free world have you?

Islam will rule the world

Iran leader: Islam will rule the world

Hamas: Isalam will rule the world

Those are the kinds of attitudes that scare me.

firstly great choice of sources, they lack credibility esp Jihadwatch
is these kind of things that scare me people taking the words of nutcases and then inflaming them, making it bigger then it is then spreading it to the masses who will belive anything.

people that run those sites dont know anything about Islam

and this is a request to you
if you want to know anything about Islam please PM and i will answer your questions or read my SIG as it has information about muslims and non muslims

Propaganda shots. How does that apply to Starbucks? Do they want to do away with coffee?

Walmart? No cheaply made goods for cheap prices?

Is the Ford Focus going to be renamed the Ford Fatah?

shots, have you ever REALLY carried a conversation on with Muslims?

You fear what you don't know imo.

please do not mix very religous with fanatics, i come from a very religous background (not being over religous myself)

the ones making those demands are religous but not fanatics.
there is a very strong line. they request things not demand like fanatics.

Yes, I am and I have given a few examples the toilets was one, the private prayer rooms were another. Oh and let us not forget the lonely grocery clerk who refused to sell a pizza because it contained pork or how about the cabdrivers who refuse to carry passengers who have bottled liquor on them that is sealed no less. What bout the cab drivers who have refused rto carry the blind because they had seeing eye dogs??? Yes it is coming a little at a time and the problem is many like yourself do not want to see it.

please i worked at Tesco when i was 16 and i sold enough Wine, pork, beaf and so on. its personle choice as long as they arent consuming it.
if they feel its moraly wrong for them then they can do refuse,

but that example is only a few people who would
and dont forget some jews would aswell as they share the same view on pork

its many like my self who do not take the smallest issue and blow it up into a larger issue like your self.
all i see are islamophic people looking for any excuse to vent their frustation on others, get any small problem and ensure that its blown up

thank fully not everyone shares the same prospective as you have shown

No I know what I am talking about. We have a local filling station that once was run by a muslim who is still considered a friend and I had some very serious converstations with and he told me what to watch out for when it comes to the fanatics, he himself disliked their attitude and pushyness if you will. Those conversations took place post 911 and since then he has moved on too selling real estate and building custom homes with an exneighbor of mine and both are doing extremely well.


I also had a muslim doctor for a while but had to change because he did not specialize in the type of problem I had.

Sio yes I have talked to muslims.

No not all just a few but in one town in Canada I believe it was most if not all and that has since moved on to their court system for resolution.

install cameras at Morthwestern,
document the supposed 'need', send a request to install footbaths
which would attempt to be self supporting by charging perhaps a .50 cent accomodation fee for the use of this 'special' equiptment

the video cameras in the bathrooms or seperate cleaning areas
might also be used to identify the individuals who are creating a public hazard by the inappropriate use of sinks for something other than what they were designed for. Also creating slippery floor hazards to the other
patrons who have a reasonable expectation that the university restrooms
would have 'normal' activity and dry floors which is pretty much standard practice in all restrooms across america...

unique situations require unique problem solving,
not just 'throwing money at the problem',
which seems to be the case in this situation.

Or how about licensed pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control pills? Or the men and women who scream at funerals the US servicemen are going to hell for "fighting for gays"? What about those video stores that edit VHS tapes to remove any vaguely sexual or otherwise adult scenes? What about the men and woman who write editorials that stop just shy of demanding that anyone who says "happy holidays" should be lynched? How about all the many, many multimillionaire television entertainers who claim because they quote passages from a book on occasion, they should be tax exempt?

It takes all sorts

Im pretty sure Dearborn has a very large Arab/Muslim population. So even if public funds were used more then likely it is taxes paid by those very same people. On top of the tuition they already pay. I would also think that these could be used by anyone else Im sure, not that very many would need a footbath but I guess its usable by all. I don't think since they were using the sinks that there would be an issue of "infidels" using them as well.

Oh please shots, come on man not again. You tried to make an issue of it at the Kansas city airport, only to find out there was no special footbaths installed. The cab drivers were using a janitorial sink, which they were satisfied with. And when that was presented, you tried to find some connection to still try and make them look bad.

As a matter of fact Christians do sponsor and donate stuff in public schools all the time. It does not make the news because it is everyday stuff and not a big deal.

All I got to say is that this is the second time you have tried to make a group of people look bad because they will wash their feet and simply try to find the best way of doing so. Please man, let the footbath thing go. I like to wash my feet, I am not a Muslim. I dont wash my feet in public places because such facilities do not exist, but if they did, you can darn sure I will use them.

I think you would be surprised at how many non-muslims will be washing their feet if such facilities were installed nationwide in all kinds of public places. From blonde blue eyed hot chicks, to mexican immigrants, athletes, laborors, car salesmen. We sell hundreds of thousands of foot spas in retail centers throughout the years, you dont think many of those people would not take advantage of a foot wash at an airport, university, mall, or office complex??

Dream on man. I think you just like to focus on them because this is part of their culture, and you want to make them look silly.

TWICE, that is TWICE. There is obviously an agenda there. I swear if you do a third in a few months, your true intentions shall be known, as if they are not already.

Can I just point out that the Koran expressly forbids Muslims from speaking, carrying items referring to Allah etc whilst in the toilet.

As such the article referred to about the postion of toilets for prayer times is most likely total and utter BS, because any self-respecting Muslim isn't going to be praying on the toilet.

I can't believe I'm havign to post this link but hey - its all about ignorance denial;

Islamic toilet etiquette

There have also been numerous, well-publicized incidents at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Int'l Airport, one of the largest airports in the US:



Muslim Cab Drivers Refuse to Transport Alcohol, and Dogs
Minnesota Officials Ponder Suspensions, cab Drivers say it Goes Against Their Belliefs By BARBARA PINTO
Jan. 26, 2007

Commissioners at one of the country's biggest airports are considering punishing Muslim cab drivers who refuse service to passengers possessing alcohol or guide dogs.

The cabbies claim transporting those items violates Islamic law.


"It is against our faith and the airport is discriminating against Muslim drivers," says a cab driver who would only give his first name, Hashim.

Not me. Public restrooms at airports are some of the filthiest, smelliest, unsanitary places I can think of. I would never risk my health by washing my feet in one of them. Who knows what foot-eating fungi would be spread by integrating footbaths among the urinals and stalls?

Ugh!
