If these things are ever built, then I expect to hear new that Muslims have attacked non-Muslims for attempting to use them. I imagine the more whacko Muslims might even set up patrols in the bathroom to threaten non-Muslims who attempt to use them.

Robert notes:

The article goes on and on, but never addresses the Constitutional point.

But the Indianapolis Star article referenced by IslamOnline does:

Sinks for Muslims at airport are up in air
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007709220487

'One person objecting is the Rev. Jerry Hillenburg, a Baptist pastor who lost a son in Iraq two years ago.

Hillenburg, who wrote Mayor Bart Peterson about his concerns this week, said putting sinks on public property would be unconstitutional, given that their primary purpose is to serve Muslims.'

The Reverend Hillenburg is the 'Islamophobe' referenced in the IslamOnline article.

He apparently 'gets it' about Islam.

'Beyond that, Hillenburg said, the move would represent an "appeasement" of Muslims at a time when he has serious doubts about whether Muslims can be loyal Americans.

Hillenburg plans to preach Sunday on what he calls America's problem of "caving in to Islam" at his 700-member Hope Baptist Church on the Far Westside. He announced the sermon and his church's concerns about Muslims with a news release that said: "We also oppose the fraternization with our open enemies during a time of war."'

And here's the best news.

But airport officials, who last week said the sinks were needed to solve a potential safety hazard from wet floors and to make the restrooms more sanitary, said Friday that plans for the foot sinks were "only preliminary."

" has become a bone of contention between Islamophobes led by a church leader and Muslims "

islamophobes? christians who fear islam? nice way of perverting public debate, christianity = islamophobic wrong. poor muslims only want to wash their feet in safety. evil islamophobes.

"Since the 9/11 attacks, American Muslims have become sensitized to an erosion of their civil rights, with a prevailing belief that America was targeting their faith."

what erosions?

""It's like you are in the jungle, like a primitive human," said cabby Aziz Nachid, 42."

what is this guy describing? he sounds like a frickin baby. dude, we are talking about washing ones feet here, whats so "primitive" about that? surely it's a simple process.

Do do that wudu that you do so well. For you do something to me that nobody else could do! You do something to me, something that simply mystifies me. .. I get that funny feeling watching you wash your feet at the airport!! That funny, sickening feeling.

What about baptismal fonts? Don't Catholics have a pressing need for that, as well? And what about a mikvah for Jews? Especially before or after travel?

Suggestion: It's in a bathroom, use any 'Wudu' washbasin that you find in any public place as a urinal.

I will be

Greetings:

Interestingly enough, the "I-word" (Islamophobes) does not appear in the Indianapolis Star article. Apparently it was inserted by "the brothers" at IslamOnLine.

Can Muslims Be Good Americans? & Hillary Clinton & Islamic extremists

This is Something every American needs to think about, comprehend, and understand:
Coexistence of Judeo-Christian and Muslim Societies? Many, especially in the News Media or Far Liberal Left feel this is a complex issue that requires compassion and understanding. Here is some Food for thought (I call it the common sense factor) .... Bigoted or Not - Just read, think, and draw your own conclusions. The following are FACTS, not conjecture or Media hype. The Simple Question is: Can Muslims be Good Americans? Can a devout Muslim be an American Patriot and a Loyal American Citizen at the same time?
Consider these Simple Real Facts:
(1) Based on Theology - NO. Because Muslim allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.
(2) Based on Scripture (bible) - NO. Because their allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (The Holy Koran, Muslim Bible).
(3) Based on Geography - NO. Because their allegiance is to Mecca, to which all Muslims turn and face in prayer five times a day.
(4) Based on Social Values - NO. Because their allegiance to Islam forbids Muslims to make friends with Christians, Jews, or Non Believers referred to as Infidels.
(5) Based on Political Values or Alliances - NO. Because all Muslims must submit to the Mullah (spiritual leader), who teach annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great SATAN.
(6) Based on American Domestic Values - NO. Because Muslim Men are instructed to marry four women, and beat and scourge their wives when they disobey him. Muslim Women are brought up to obey and consent to this social and religious accepted practice (Quran 4:34).
(7) Based on Religion - NO. Because Muslims are taught that no other religion is accepted by Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256).
(8) Based on Intellect - NO. Because Muslims cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and they believe the Bible to be corrupt.
(9) Based on Philosophical Principles and Concepts - NO. Because Islam, Mohammed, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion, thought, and expression.
(10) Based on Democracy - NO. Because in democracy ISLAM can not exist!
(11) Based on Schooling - NO. Because Muslims believe it is more important to learn the ways of ISLAM and to learn to read Arabic, because the Holy Koran (Muslim Bible) is written in Arabic. Also that education is not necessary for women. That only schools run and controlled by Islamic Law are for teaching their children.
Facts -
1) Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
2) Spiritually, no way, because when we declare "One Nation Under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names.
3) That Muslim children are warriors of Islam and can be sacrificed in the name Allah (God). That young girls, often times 10-years-old are forced to marry and have sex. This is strictly forbidden in any Western culture or society. Muslim men would be imprisoned for being Pedophiles.
4) Therefore after much study and deliberation .... perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country (the one that gives us our Freedoms, the one we love, and the one who protects us from evil and those who wish to see our way of life destroyed and replaced for their own values and demented concepts).
CONCLUSION - MUSLIMS obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish ... it's still the truth. If you find yourself intellectually in agreement with the above, perhaps you will share this web page with your friends. The more AMERICANS who understand this, the better it will be for our great country, the United States of America (USA).
So, as you can read, interpret, understand, and observe just in the violence throughout the Muslim World which is now encroaching upon our society and way of life ... That the war is bigger than we know.

Hillary Clinton & Islamic extremists
One such email reprinted a November 2000 Wall Street Journal article by reporter Steven Emerson, who specializes in terrorism. The article charged that Hillary Clinton had invited Islamic extremists into the White House, thus greatly enhancing their political strength among Muslims.

The article was published just before the 2000 election, when Ms. Clinton was running for the US Senate.

Hillary Clinton's legitimization of Islamic extremists, in 1996 Ms. Clinton began "reaching out" to the American Muslim Council (AMC), founded in 1990 by one Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi.

Emerson writes that this was serious because al-Amoudi and other AMC leaders are extremists who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood. By inviting al-Amoudi to the White House, the Clintons were telling Muslims all over the world that the US government has no problem with Muslim leaders who support terror.

As we shall see, before Clinton was elected, the administration of President Bush, Sr. worked closely with Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi to set up a Muslim Chaplain program in the most sensitive area possible - the US military. The current President Bush catapulted al-Amoudi's credibility sky high by casting him as a moderate Muslim leader at a highly publicized 'national prayer day' on September 14, 2001 (three days after 911).

Two years later, al-Amoudi was arrested while apparently using a million dollars of Libyan money to arrange the assassination of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. He has pled guilty and was sentenced October 16th. His lawyer says he is cooperating, naming names.

This means al-Amoudi was a major player in the world of international terror. It is difficult to believe US intelligence had no inkling of this, especially since al-Amoudi's access to the US military and three administrations would trigger serious security investigations, at least from the Secret Service. So what does this say about George Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and the "fight against terror"? see http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/election1.htm

His lawyers urged a lighter sentence, portraying Alamoudi as a minor player in the bizarre scheme to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

But Alamoudi pleaded guilty in July to illegally moving cash from Libya, admitting that he pocketed nearly $1 million and used it to pay conspirators in the plot, which sources said came close to succeeding before it was broken up by Saudi intelligence officials. [6]

(The argument attributed to Al-Amoudi's lawyers is manifestly absurd. How can one describe as a "minor player" the person who sets up an assassination by distributing a million dollars to the hit men?)

HILLARY CLINTON:PAST MUSLIM TERRORIST SUPPORTER!
The point of Steven Emerson's article - and the reason it is being sent around the Internet just before today's presidential election - is that Hillary Clinton, meaning the Democrats, embraced al-Amoudi. This despite al-Amoudi's publicly proclaimed terrorist sympathies. Of course, the Secret Service does security checks on people invited to the White House, so the Clintons would have been informed that al-Amoudi was a Muslim extremist. And knowing this they still boosted him with White House invitations.
