Sometimes, it's a Facebook post that is worth a thousand words:
The airport tried to spin it in customer relations terms....:
Carolyn Fennell, the airport's public affairs director, said the "Reflection Room" will give Muslims a more suitable place to pray "so they aren’t having to, if it is the case, kneel on the bathroom floors or in corners so they have the reflective time," according to the Washington Times.
....but this new "Reflection Room" is being created in direct proximity to the inauguration of direct flights from Orlando to Dubai. Something that seems like it's highly unlikely to be coincidental. And, by the way, according to Miami's NBC affiliate, this Muslim shrine that OIA is flailingly insisting is an "open space for all passengers" will sport a place for pre-prayer washing, shoe racks and signs that point the directions north, south, east, or west, so that the Muslims using the room can face Mecca when saying their prayers. But other than that it's COMPLETELY NON-DENOMINATIONAL.
Aaaaaaand if you've got a problem with that, than you're an Islamophobe.
But display a cross anywhere on the premises outside of a trash can and the gates of hell itself would descend upon them.
Exit question: Care to speculate on what TSA security waivers OIA has obtained for their Dubai flights?

Wow, Wingnuts of the World UNITE!!! If there was a fact in this "story" it would die of loneliness. Good Job.
You have a unique definition of what constitutes "facts," Anonymous. Which may help explain why you didn't choose to attach your name to your comment.
The "wingnut" swipe was, of course, a reflexive exercise in self-flattery.
