How long do you want to ignore this user?
The two are not mutually exclusive. Often you have to pray you can find your luggage.

Let us know when that happens. Your slippery slope has already been rendered moot by history.infinity ag said:BluHorseShu said:Good grief. Airports have accommodated travelers forever.

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?
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.
And even if they do someday, who cares?
Well that doesn't really make logistical sense, does it? Where as an airport has the space to do it. But hey, if you want to make that comparison, have at it.infinity ag said:BluHorseShu said:Good grief. Airports have accommodated travelers forever.

It is clear the OP doesn't watch Air Disasters on the Smithsonian Channel.

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.
It's not a Muslim's fault if Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus etc. aren't using the room. They're all entirely allowed and capable of using it if they so choose to do so
To pander to the mooslims. Why else? Besides, where else are they going to confirm with Allah their virgins before they hijack a plane?
Some Middle East airlines like Saudia have them on the plane.

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.
the most TexAgs response ever
OP most comfortable kneeling in prayer in the back stall.
Why do they have bars? People like to drink. Same concept.

I flew Frontier on a bereavement fare once. When we landed, I was wishing I was the dead person.
Doesn't look like it is inside an airport.Kenneth_2003 said:

Maybe they are praying that there aren't any dogs on the flight.
Great quite place to let one rip, give it a few crop dust circles around the room and head out.
As long as they don't turn the plane to face Mecca, I don't care.
Ever flown Egypt Air. They have a Muslim prayer that comes over the announcements and is show on the tvs before you take off.
Well since the ladies are not allowed to enter or use the front door... I say bad muslin prayer room, bad!
Do they have a tv for those who pray best when watching Aggie football?
i look forward to your thread denouncing prayer in schools. after all, that's only a place for education. should go over well here.infinity ag said:RockTXAggie said:infinity ag said:The Banned said:linfinity ag said:

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.
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.
Probably to segregate those "religious people" and keep them away from praying in front of the general public so the pagans aren't offended.
Every time I fly. Of course now I have to add to that no vomit on the seat, and no trail of diarrhea running the entire length of the plane.eric76 said:

They do it to virtue signal and placate muslims.
Dumb.
These have been around forever. Probably because flying was less safe 30-40 years ago so a little last minute "our father" before a flight just in case.
Well once again, looks like we can pin the "blame" on the Catholics.

Muslims are required to pray at certain times of the day, so if they are traveling and in an airport, that can't pray at home, as you suggest.
They're supposed to pray five times a day. I don't have a problem with this as long as they're open to all faiths.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.

Fight Fight Fight.
I can just imagine how most of this board would react if a muslim threw down a prayer rug in the middle of a busy terminal and started their prayer. That's why they have rooms for them.

Everyone point and laugh at the edgy junior high Reddit-tier atheist.
The flames of the Imperium burn brightly in the hearts of men repulsed by degenerate modernity. Souls aflame with love of goodness, truth, beauty, justice, and order.
This is the answer to the original question
I know nothing!
Would it be ok and possible to pray in one of these laying flat with my eyes closed during a long layover?
I already have a prayer neck pillow
