#1 Hope there are hidden cameras inside.

#2 20 square meters is about 14.5' x 15', not exactly huge, but I think it is a bad precedent. When Islam accepts that Israel has a right to exist and Jews are allowed to pray in Muslim countries, then this should go forward. Until then, it is just one more sign of weakness and another level in the death spiral of the West. You cannot win the hearts and minds of these people through kindness and consideration.

#3 Muslims can pray in Ben Gurion when Jews can pray at the Kaaba.

#4 "According to the airport, the plans are tentative and no timetable for building the room has been decided."

Let's hope it's after Hell freezes over.

#5 I'll bet the feedback will pop eardrums...

#6 I get the feeling that you could ensure this is never used by putting up a sign that reads.

"This mosque brought to you by Mossad."

#7 "A prayer room for Muslims will be built in Ben Gurion Airport"

It is becoming quite common. The new Adelaide airport has such a room, for taxi drivers & others; the Melbourne airport "prayer" room is in the news due to someone smearing a koran with excrement & urinating in the "prayer" room.

Koran abused in Bible payback

#9 Heh, Whiskettes4Hilali - I just posted that story.

I see it there now. My eyesight isn't the best these
days. I am trying to confirm that it was Tullamarine
(not Werribee, Essendon, Moorabbin etc).

#10 Naw - we were darned-near simultaneous. I'll keep an eye peeled for any future links you offer, lol. ;-)

And I'll get a bigger monitor! :) Anyone know if SEA-TAC has such a facility?

#12 Lol.

#13 Re #11: I think there will be a room available seasonally: when the Christmas trees are out on display they can have that closet. In the meantime, there are several available that have porcelein (SIC)seats/ koran storage devices built in.

#14 Well the Moose-limbs that go through Ben Gurion probably need a quiet place to "recover their thoughts" after the repeated interrogations they have to go through before getting anywhere near an airplane. It is tough on everyone, but if you look like you've even been to the West Bank or Gaza or have distant relatives there, then they really take out the rectal probe.
