Airports for clean Muslim feet! May 1, 2007
Posted by kevlarchick in Religion.trackback
The Kansas City International Airport has recently installed footbaths for Muslim taxi drivers , who demanded the footbaths be installed for ritual washing.
If that’s the case, I’d like a baptismal font, some holy water at each entrance, and a priest on duty at all times to hear confessions and do various annointings and blessings. I mean, I simply MUST have my carry-ons blessed before boarding! Not to mention an exorcism!
And, can I use the footbath to rinse out my stockings?
It’s only fair.
Of course, there can be no accommodation on the public dole for any religion that does not threaten to separate your head from the rest of you.
Why in hell can’t they wash their feet in the sink like the Muslims did in my dorm when I went to college?
Oh wait, what Dave said.
And are these things located in the restrooms? Cuz it’s only a short matter of time before some guy who’s had a few too many in the airport lounge is gonna stumble into the restroom and piss in one or all of them.
Hey, you know what? If I’d bothered to read the article, my question is answered in the very first sentence.
Know what else? I kinda feel all Wickedpintoee, what with leaving all these comments in a row.
Yes I do.
I wonder how many time WP has seen that message from WordPress where it tells you that you are posting to quickly and to slow your ass down.
I’m thinkin’ a shitload.
Okay, I’m done now.
Really, I am.
dude you need an exorcism. Just don’t go to the airport cause you can’t get one there.
I have to wonder, I mean CM has a point (a demented, bizarre point but a point none the less).
I know what I might be tempted to do if I saw one of these on the floor. Why, I might have a flashback to my days in Taiwan, and forget this is like some holy thing. And not one of these (scroll down to picture).

Even airport planners in Kansas City woulda thunk of this.
Think carefully before you discourage cabbies from washing anything. There is a point here. But there’s also a greater good.
You could leverage it, couldn’t you? You can have the footbath, but you have to walk through the shower to get to it.
And now I’m doing the Compos thing.
BTW, That pope pic is possibly the cutest thing you will see today.
Holy crap. I’m going to agree with Dave not only twice in one day, but twice in one post! The end is near.
Anyway, who’s to say somebody from another country, say Taiwan, strolls into a restroom at the airport, see’s one of these foot washing things and thinks nothing of dropping a deuce in it, complete with in-flight peanuts?
The next time i fly anywhere im going to make sure that i have a layover in Kansas City just so i can piss in one of these things. Hopefully one of these motherfuckers will have his feet in it at the time.
“BTW, That pope pic is possibly the cutest thing you will see today.”
Not for me. I watched the otter video again. But I’ll give the Pope a close second.
Pope out.
“And now I’m doing the Compos thing.”
how about a courtesy flush? thanks
Next time you should just blame it on Lipstick.
I wonder if they’ll get upset if an unbelieve washes his feet in ‘em?
Alternatively, sneaking a woman in and getting her to wash her feet! That should positively send them into a jihadist tizzy…
Courtesy flush won’t cover it doc. A fire hose or an incinerator would be necessary.
That Pope pic is funny as hell.
Somebody from another country drops a deuce?
You mean, another country like Texas? Cause that’s on my to do list.
A great incentive to drink lots of beer on flights going to KC.
I’ve got to go out there at the end of July to move my brother back to CO (he’s finished his 2 years of med school coursework), but I’ll be driving.
anybody else ever wonder what a tattoo of a naked Condi Rice wearing an indian war bonnet and dry humping a giant corndog would look like?
well wonder no more:

Kind of an evil looking Condi.
yeah, I thought that pic of il Papa was great. I have another one of him doing a high-five with some kids, and one of him doing a big thumbs-up during a huge outdoor Mass.
i like the pic where it looks like the pope is bitch slapping a dove.

I want a velvet painting of the Indian chick and the corn dog.
It ain’t exactly Randy Johnson slappin a dove, but it’ll do.

Personally I think he was expecting curve.
I think Religion accomodation and tolerance is something we could greatly expand on if Baptists, catholics, Christians, Jehovah Witnesses REALLY wanted to pray or had to 5 times a day, and wanted these accomodations, i think in all fairness they should, could, and would be provided if enough voices or signatures were gathered.
Might as well provide live chickens and knives to Haitian voodoo priests while you’re at it.
My religion requires daily ritual masturbation to a picture montage of Jeri Ryan, Salma Hayek, and Halle Berry. When can I expect my deeply rooted beliefs to be subsidized?

When you add Tia Carrere to the montage. Otherwise, Steve, your daily religious observance is almost perfect.
If you feel the need to fill out the Asian spot on the roster I’d go with Vivian Hsu.

What’s this I see – an egregious egregiousity?
fill out the Asian spot on the roster
Hah! That’s exactly what I was doing. What’s up with a multi-ethnic fantasy like that and nothing from Asia? You disappoint me, Steve.
Oh c’mon, Michael. Proofread it already. It’s killlliinnnnnggg me.
What’s you’re problem, Geoff?
Michael –
My little list came from when I was married – the ones my wife would give me a free pass on. So I already had the Asian slot filled (chuckle chuckle).
I picture you as a Minka kind of guy.

Yeah, Geoff, what are you talking about?
Steve, you’ve got me pegged. I like Minka. That peculiarly Asian demure and understated sexuality is what turns me on about Oriental women.
