250K Muslim Prayer Room To Open At Florida Airport
Posted by: Javier Manjarres (@thesharktank1) on August 18, 2015
Orlando International Airport officials recent announcement that they would be opening a $250,000 Muslim prayer room ahead of Emirates Airlines’ September 1 start of daily service between Orlando and Dubai.
With the increase in radical Islamic terrorist activity around the world, many Americans are taking pause, and wondering if the construction of a Muslim-centric prayer room could possibly invite a terrorist attack at the airport.
The reflection room will have a place for pre-prayer washing, racks so worshippers have a place to put their shoes while praying and signs showing which way is north, south, east and west since Muslims typically face Mecca when praying.
According to the Muslim-friendly website crescentratings.com, whose slogan is “The World’s Leading Authority on Halal Travel – Connecting you to the Muslim Traveller,” the Orlando Airport would join John F. Kennedy and Denver International Airports, as being the only major U.S. airport to have prayer room specifically built to cater to the Muslim community.
Someone tell me how this “prayer room” cost $250,000 to build?
