Texas Airport to Install Muslim Baths: Can Call to Prayer Be Far Behind?

Islamic foot-washing stations are coming to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Fox News reports. The new Wudu stations will be installed in the men’s and women’s restrooms in Terminal D. They provide Muslim travelers with a dedicated place to perform the ritual washing of the face, hands, and feet that must be purified before prayer.

I thought we had separation of church and state, or does that only apply to Christians and Jews?

Officials point to another reason for the change. Travelers washing their feet in standard sinks can leave floors wet and slippery and damage restroom counters.

The stations are privately funded and are expected to be complete by the end of the year. Similar facilities already exist at other major U.S. airports, including Chicago O’Hare. They are taxpayer-funded.

Amy Mek picked this story up a year ago.

She shared a video detailing how Southern Baptist pastor Tom Ascol was blocked from entering DFW Airport’s Meadows Chapel during an Imam-led Salah prayer, despite repeated announcements stating “all are welcome” to the service.

The post links the incident to taxpayer-funded Islamic prayer facilities at major Texas and Florida airports, including Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental and Orlando International, featuring wudu stations, gender segregation, and Mecca orientation.

If we can’t have state support of religion, why doesn’t it include Islam?
