| Airport's garage now Muslim house of worship |
| 2013-06-11 |
| [BLOG.SFGATE] Here's a sign of the changing times -- Moslem cabbies now have their very own place at the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... International Airport to wash their hands and feet before they pray. Under Islamic law, Moslems are required to pray five times a day -- a ritual that also calls for a ceremonial cleansing. For many cab drivers, that's meant either lugging bottled water around or using one of the bathrooms inside the terminal to wash -- a practice not always welcomed by airport passengers. So Royal Cab driver Hasan Khan, 52, a Pak immigrant, collected some 300 signatures from fellow cabbies, urging the airport to give them their own cleansing station. Airport brass obliged -- and the wash equipment was installed on the ground floor of the main garage, right next to where the drivers congregate for their breaks. |

| #4 How many non-Muslim cabbies are there working that beat? In a lot of places I've been lately it's hard to find any. |

| #2 So Royal Cab driver Hasan Khan, 52, a Pak immigrant, collected some 300 signatures from fellow cabbies, urging the airport to give them their own cleansing station. So, I guess it would take some 301 signatures to get them the hell out...? |

| #1 Sounds like a unwanted abandoned Garage was unavalable. |
