It came to light recently that the Council of Islamic Relations has been pressuring our government to publicly fund Muslim footbaths to accommodate cabbies as they circle the airport awaiting passengers.  This is apparently needed in order to accommodate their need to cleanse themselves prior to praying multiple times a day.

I have no problem with the cleansing or the prayer tradition within their faith.  I have big beef with the utter hypocrisy on display here by the Republican ? oh... don't think so?  Democrat council members that allowed this public funding to take place...I just wonder WHAT would have been the reaction if a group of white Christian men in the upper income level (the ones who pay the tax bills for the congresspersons to make these ridiculous decisions) had petitioned city hall for a room where communion would be served within the airport?  Are the Buddhists next?  and then..Wiccans?

And while our colleges go out of their way to purge every vestige of Christianity OFF the campus including removing crosses that have been historical landmarks, they are apparently eager to accommodate and publicly fund anything for the Muslim counterparts.

Lastly, David Horowitz has done an outstanding job (once again) painting a work picture an helping explain WHY the ACLU is NOT on the case.  Two great articles follow:
