What About Seperation Of Church And State?

From the San Fran Chronicle: Here’s a sign of the changing times — Muslim cabbies now have their very own place at San Francisco International Airport to wash their hands and feet before they pray.
Under Islamic law, Muslims are required to pray five times a day — a ritual that also calls for a ceremonial cleansing.
For many cab drivers, that’s meant either lugging bottled water around or using one of the bathrooms inside the terminal to wash — a practice not always welcomed by airport passengers.
So Royal Cab driver Hasan Khan, 52, a Pakistani immigrant, collected some 300 signatures from fellow cabbies, urging the airport to give them their own cleansing station.
Airport brass obliged — and the wash equipment was installed on the ground floor of the main garage, right next to where the drivers congregate for their breaks.
“The way we look at it…this was in the interest of maintaining a good relationship with ground transportation providers,’’ says airport spokesman Doug Yakel.  http://blog.sfgate.com/matierandross/2013/06/09/airports-garage-now-muslim-house-of-worship/
Why not put in a Catholic Church at the airport?  How about a Jewish or Mormon temple?
And to appease the bigoted religion of islam? The anti-woman, anti-gay, the anti-children religion of peace?  Please, just give them a prayer area at a pig farm.

Allah!
