Why can't people pray at home if they need to?
Only Muslims seem to use it anyway even though they call it "multi faith".

Why does it bother you?

---

Several reasons.
1. Waste of money
2. Pandering to only 1 religion.
3. Bringing religion where it does not belong (like Islamic countries)
4. You give a bit, people ask for more. So why not prayer rooms in airplanes? Why not loudspeakers for Muslim call to prayer?

This isn't new, airports have had chapels and prayer rooms for as long as I can remember. It's not pandering to one religion if only one religion chooses to use it. As for bringing religion where it doesn't belong, I hope you bring that same energy when it comes to Christianity because Christianity is everywhere.

Stop being paranoid. Just stop. Your entire raison d'etre collapses on point 2.

Atlanta airport gets a 24/7 eucharistic chapel

We'd be better off if we encouraged everyone--including the Muslims--to pray more regularly. Doubly so if we condemned phone usage at the same time.

Are you my mother to tell me what to do and what not to do?

Airport prayer rooms may have been at one point been for everyone but today it is clear that it is used as a way to be woke and to pander to one particular religion. I have visited several of these prayer rooms in airports in many places, I don't see Christians, Jews or Hindus or Buddhists using it. Most of the time it is a few Muslims or just empty.

Besides, an airport is for transit purposes. Why bring religion in there? Humans need restrooms but they can pray at home or at their destination or just in their mind.

crop dust and leave

If I find Christianity where it should not be, then yes, I will oppose that too. It applies to all religions. But note that all religions are not created alike. Some are predatory.
FYI - I am not Christian myself.

If you've ever flown with a baby and a toddler and a wife who has been dealing with the baby and toddler, a prayer room for dad is not a terrible idea

Or vodka.

have you seen how many pilots have been dropping dead while piloting planes? not a bad idea to put a prayer up to the man upstairs before flying with a pilot who you know took the covid jab.

Good question

So it's a Muslim issue? Isn't it better that they have a room where they can go do it instead of dropping down beside you while you sit waiting for you flight? They aren't going to stop flying or praying, so may as well give the somewhere to go.

And waste of money? I bet that prayer room accounts .00005% of the overall construction and maintenance costs of an airport

---

Strawman argument.
One can "drop down" at home or somewhere else. An airport is not the place for that. BTW, maybe you hit upon the reason why this was introduced in the first place. Maybe people prayed near the gates, so they created a room for them. They cannot make this for one religion only so they called it multi faith even though only 1 religion uses it.

The basic issue is religion should not be where it isn't supposed to be. Now you may say religion is in politics also. Yes, it should go to but that is not the topic of this thread.

Good grief. Airports have accommodated travelers forever. Sounds like just example of seeking out innocuous things to try and create some kind of drama that doesn't exist.
Hospitals have chapels too. Are they pandering to mostly Christians? I am Christian and I can tell you it belongs everywhere.

---

Hmm. In that case, do you want aircraft to build prayer rooms onboard for 13 hour trans-continental flights? Someone might feel the urge to pray over Iceland and get on the aisles impeding people traffic.

This is OT, but how so?

My first thought was to send in a bunch of Pentecostals, but this would work, too, if the Muslims praying in there really bothers you.

This thread is starting to remind of the California guy whining about Texas thread.

i'm an agnostic, but the TSA still forced me to go in the chapel and pray the last time I flew.

What's the problem if Muslims use it? Aren't they praying to the same God?

Something tells me you have not flown on Pakistani airlines. Yes, it is common for folks to get up, spread the magic carpet in the aisle, and get their pray on.

Dems want to cut *****es off our sons and bind the boobs of our daughters, not going to get upset about Muslims hanging out in the airport chapel.

I have never flown in Pakistani Airlines, and God willing never will! LOL

I did fly to Vegas on JSX for Labor Day Weekend. You were right! Its a game changer!

I had a pretty long connection through Chicago midway in May. The first announcement they made was for Catholic mass in the airport chapel. During the mass they started announcing a nondenominational service for the same chapel immediately following mass. Sure, the UK is probably pandering to Muslims, but there's airports out there that utilize things like these for Christians

Good point. Most Christians in the UK are non-practicing, the remaining are devout atheists.
