re: DFW Airport cancels plans for Islamic foot washing stations

Is being a boring contrarian the same as calling out bullshite statements

You definitely are consistent though

Ah, got me. Now that I answered your question, you can dodge it.

What specifically is “bullshite” about Abbott’s argument?

I stopped at the Love’s truck stop on I-10 in Iowa to take a squirt and there was a dude at the sink in the restroom washing his feet. I don’t about all of you, but I’d rather he use a foot washing station than washing his feet in the sink where people have to wash their hands.

I already answered what Abbott claims is illegal: a government-owned facility providing accommodations that favor one specific religion. (goat frickers)

“But they already have some” doesn’t explain why that legal argument is bullshite. It just raises the question about why Abbott didn’t challenge the existing ones sooner.

And as an Texan, I assume the answer is that Abbott is up for reelection in November.

Got it. So it is bullshite. Couple reasons....

Government shouldn't favor religion at all not specifically one over another.

The foot washers are not reserved for muslims only. Anyone can use them.

Me and you worked in the same field

They are the worst by far

the dishwashers at restaurants are using their feet?

Yknow…. I just don’t know why stuff like this is newsworthy. If you walked into a DFW restroom and saw it you’d probably think - - “well that something you don’t see every day” - - and give it zero further thought.

But Noooooo…. We have to splash it all over media with the implied message that there is something sinister about a freakin foot washing station.

I wish someone would install bidet’s in these places but that ain’t ever gonna happen because there is nothing controversial about the French who desire their asses cleaner than ours.

It doesn't favor one religion. Anyone can use it. It's a little tub on the floor with a faucet. They don't check your Muslim card before you use it. That's why Abbott's "argument" is retarded. Hope that helps.

Yes it does. It specifically a Muslim religious practice. It is the Islamic ritual purification performed before the five daily prayers (and in some cases before handling the Qur’an)
