And college?
Should we install Holy water fonts for other denominations?
What about Catholic confessionals?
I'm not a liberal or a con but I do believe this is a clear example of the double standard that now exists in our country.

Justin: I am curious at to why you would consider Right Wing radio a threat considering that is all they have left since the Left owns and controls Hollywood and every major newspaper and television network.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of posting these now and I'm not even through the first page.

well, the story is.. Bash Christ, and allow all others. The belief is that the majority needs to be stripped of it's power, and everyone else shall be the controllers. It isn't about the footbaths, or religion, It is about the Christians and the rights they hold

Being a constitutionalist wacko i know something approximately this. the 1st modification is a one way highway. It retains government out of religion yet would not avert the religious from influencing government. for this reason sayeth the splendid court docket. the situation with this concern is that the Obama administration takes no be attentive to faith (or the form) and believes that The State (Federal gov) can dictate regardless of it needs. Obama stepped right into a cow pie in this one, he had no concept what a firestorm it would create. until eventually for sure this ploy is a distraction to misdirect our interest from extra significant issues. that is all a magic act; they distract your interest to the properly suited hand so which you do no longer look at what the left hand is doing.

OK, text of the First Amendment dealing with religion:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Allowing prayer in school, ten commandments in a court house, prayer in Congress, Christmas trees in public places, etc. are not laws respecting the establishment of religion.
The founders did not want Congress to say "Christians will not be taxed, but all other will." Or "Catholic Mass will be held in all public places, but not the reading of the Koran." They didn't want another Church of England rammed down their throats.
Passing "laws" not allowing me to pray in school or do these other things mentioned above actually violates the second part of the amendment. They are prohibiting my free exercise thereof.
The whole concept of "separation of church and state" has been so warped it is ludicrous anymore.

I don't see nothing wrong with a footbath, lots of people wear flip flops. Also, lots of people walk around all day, and their feet get tired and worn out. I think footpaths would be great for the publics health. Obviously we shouldn't allow footbaths for religious purposes paid for by tax dollars, but if their is a majority Muslim population we should consider it in some areas but not for religious purposes but more for public health purposes.

It's PC and the supposed protection of minorities... There are other even more agreious examples of pandering to Muslims... It is totally rediculess. But if one speeks out against such they are accused of being offenceive, racist, Islamophobic, hate mongers or worse. I might also add that speeking out against Illegal immigrants is also frowned upon. Watch out.... you country is being stolen right out from under you....

Most large airports, and many smaller one, already have chapels. There is no double standard.
Foot baths is an accommodation to Muslim employees who might otherwise have to leave the premises in order to fulfill the requirements of their faith. It's eminently practical and can't be compared access to holy water. I know many catholics who carry small bottles of it with them.

Far as I can figure, its due to the fact that the far left will support any religion so long as it is not Christianity. Go figure.

Where did you get this from? I've heard of ONE college that has done this. I'd have to check, but I think that the total number of airports and colleges in this country is more than one.

LOL! Did you get this silly story from Rush Limbaugh?
Man, you are pretty gullible.
Please show us a list of these "liberals" and give us the number of the congressional Bill that they are sponsoring for Muslim footbaths.
Please post this as soon as you can.
