#1 Kansas City International Airport officials have acknowledged installing foot-washing benches in a restroom at the airport, but deny they're intended for Muslim cab drivers.

Absolutely. Many a time I've been in an airport and had to launch a frantic search for a place to wash my feet.
Good for KC International for being a trailblazer in this vital area...

#2 Footbaths? I hope they don't mind when my ethnic group/culture uses them as urinals.

#3 I'm waiting until some infidel desecrates one of these basins (maybe mistaking it for a urinal) and they post signs "Muslims only"

#5 Know what I hate? When you dive into a pool and when you come up you have a demon coming out your nose.

Great. Since nobody wants them why don't you remove them?

Good one, xbalanke. Maybe people need to "accidentally" drop raw pork products into these basins on a daily basis.

#9 Incidentally, there is absolutely ZERO difference between this situation and the made-up "conflicts" at Minneapolis. Islam specifically absolves Muslims who are unable to perform ablutions before prayer if circumstances beyond their control prevent it. More contrived whingeing by overbearing Muslims to impose upon the dhimmis. There is no irony in the fact that demanding overly-fundamentalist Muslims like these are the exact same ones who would think nothing of plotting a terrorist attack against the airport.

#10 Final Question: Where are these taxis parked while their Muslim drivers perform ablutions and prayers? If they are being left unattended in the taxi queue, they should be ticketed and towed. This shit has got to stop.

#11 tu's comment is perfect. Don't you love it when taxpayer funded officials lie to your face?

I gave some thought to what I would do if the new plumbing were to be installed at my local airport.

Pissin' in the footbaths will probably get you arrested for "something". Not unlike pissin' in the sink. Although a hard core anti-jihadist might wish to test the law. I suggest demanding a trial by jury.

I have not seen these so called "foot-washing benches", so I can't comment on the architecture of the faciities. Anyone have any idea what they look like? One "user" at a time or would they accomodate "multiple users" at a time?

I'd like to think the facility is "one user" at a time. I could have fun with that. (Sit there, clean my feet very slowly. Bring a nail trimmer. Clean some more, then trim again. Whoops...am I interfereing with your prescribed "prayer time"? Can't you be late for prayer? Why not? I thought Allah was All Mericful? That's too bad Achmed....wait your turn because THIS infidel is not finished cleaning his feet and trimming his nails. Here, have some pork rinds while you wait...whoops...sorry ... I forgot, you don't like pigs. Allow me to make a suggestion: Why not go use the next foot-bath in the restroom down the corridor? You can't because some INFIDEL is in there washing his feet and trimming his nails? AND he's got a bag of pork rinds in his back pocket? Gosh, I guess you might miss this ONE prayer time today. Good thing Allah is All Knowing, Merciful, and Forgiving otherwise you'd be SOL, huh? I'm sure Allah knew in advance there'd be a bunch of infidel at the airport restrooms today to make life hard for YOU to impose YOUR religion on the unclean infidel. Allah just forgot to tell you.)

#12 Find the plumbers that put them in, because you know they asked why those shower heads were going in three feet off the ground.

#13 Mark Z, go to the link. There's pictures. These are specifically for foot washing and nothing else.

I like your idea of Infidels monopolizing the facilities right around prayer time every day. This needs to happen for weeks on end until the cabbies try something violent and then force the airport to rip out the entire facility because it causes too much trouble.

I still want to know where the drivers leave their cabs during footwashing and prayer. Anyone want to bet that they park them properly in the pay lots?
