New York: JFK Int’l Airport Has a Complete Mosque Inside

JFK (NY) airport lit green for month of jihad (aka Ramadan)

This is separate from the “little mosque in JFK — in the parking lot, taxi lot.”
 

    The mosque at JFK Airport is more than just a prayer space—it’s a community

The mosque, a maroon-carpeted room where an imam leads daily prayers, is one of only seven Muslim prayer spaces in America’s largest airports, according to a recent Pew Research Center report—and it’s the busiest in the country, according to the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains.

“It’s the only mosque of its kind in the country,” said Ahmet Yuceturk, the imam at the JFK International Islamic Center and a chaplain with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs New York City’s airports. “It’s its own mosque, not just a room, which is what most airport mosques are,” Yuceturk continued. “We are our own place, we have our own services, we are our own community within the chapels here. It’s very different from anything in America.”

If, say, Catholics tried to build a church in JFK the feds would be on them like stink on poop screaming separation of church and state.

There is a Catholic chapel at JFK. I believe they also have a Protestant chapel and a synagogue there. They may not be on the same scale as the JFK mosque, however.

Now the Muslims have two Victory Mosques near ground zero.
