It's Hard to be a Muslim at an Airport  

An airport in Indiana wants to install foot-washing sinks, primarily for Muslims to wash their feet before they pray.

Of course, this is causing an uproar.

And it's not what you think (mild-racism/religious persecution).

Some folks are claiming this is in direct violation of "the separation of church and state".

I don't see the downside of a dedicated foot-wash station, especially in the hygienic department. And, be honest, would you really want to wash your hands in the same sink you just witnessed another person washing their feet in? Methinks not. (METHINKS is a real word. Wow.) Public bathrooms are sketchy enough to begin with. I don't want to have to worry about catching a contagious foot disease. Just put the foot-sinks in. There are much better things to argue about in this world.

Thank you.
