I see folks. Pray like Chirstians do or you are wrong. What a bunch of intolerant people i see in here. There are chapels in airports ya know. Identifiably Christian chapels. What the hell is wrong with other Americans wanting their religion treated equally? Why is that a problem for any of you? We are mostly a Christian nation. 90% are Christian. According to you then we'll need 50 differant prayer rooms to cover all the faiths around the globe. One for this faith and one for that faith and so on. No airport could be big enough for all those rooms. I myself never used any prayer room at any airport as far as that goes.

That's what I was thinking, mommy. I can't fathom the reason they would need separate rooms. I thought it was part of their belief system to pray in the presence of others; non-believers, maybe to convert some. I know they're required to pray, I think, 5 times a day. Maybe they need the privacy because their praying rituals are quite demonstrative and unsettles people of other religious persuasions. Peace, OHD I've never seen them pray and there is a possibility that doing so might make me uncomfortable. But, I have absolutely no problem with them doing so. I'm free to walk away. I don't have to stand there and listen or watch. Just as they wouldn't have to stand there and watch me. To each his own I say, especially with something like this. There praying is not going to hurt me. I may not agree but it isn't going to kill me to see or hear it. Would ya like to have them pray to Allah out loud right in back or in right in front of where your sitting down trying to relax before your flight? Don't people have a right to wait in peace & quiet without some Muslims making a attention grabing ruckus? This could also be a dry-test run of an future attack. The 09-11-01 attackers did dry test runs. These folks could also be trying to test the limets to see how far they can go to get away with something. Testing people's reaction and the reaction of security guards to their display.

I say all airports should provide muslims-only prayer rooms. As soon as you enter, a trap door in the floor opens to a chute which drops straight into hell. Airports would then become the safest places on Earth.

[According to you then we'll need 50 differant prayer rooms to cover all the faiths around the globe. I didn't say anything remotely like that. Infact all I did was ask a question. IMO if an airport wants to offer chapels/pryer rooms/whatever, its their business unless its a city/county/other gubbermint owned airport.

...not at all. The 9/11 attackers did dry runs. there is a difference between a dry run and going home to talk about what went wrong and planning an attack 40 minutes before the plane takes off. do yall seriously not think that these rooms will be bugged and have listening devices installed if they do put them in? One, we are short of interpreters as it is. Where will additional terps come from if we bug the rooms? Two, they not only can blow up planes, they can blow up the airport terminals if they have rooms to 'pray'.

I think this is something way too many people forget. As long as we as a country refuse to give into fear, the bad guys (whoever they might be over the years) can't win. As soon as we as a country allow ourselves to become something other than what we have been since our country began, the bad guys have beaten us. Eroding our freedoms, eroding our willingness to accept all people and all religions, eroding our moral standards all give the bad guys vicotries.
