The Orlando International Airport is spending $350,000 on a Muslim prayer-room complete with reflection pool so they do not have pray in public. Emirates Airlines announced it will soon be flying out of Orlando International Airport.
The Washington Times reported that the decision was made after Emirates Airlines announced it will soon be offering direct flights out of Orlando to Dubai. A majority of the airline’s travelers are Muslim.
“These rooms provide travelers an opportunity an opportunity to pray in their own way and have peace before they take on a long flight,” Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, told CNN’s local affiliate.
The room is expected be open by the Sept. 1 launch of the first Emirates flight out of Orlando.
Many Muslim travelers currently pray in public terminals and even in the bathrooms at the Orlando airport. The “Reflection Room” will give them a more suitable place to pray, said Carolyn Fennell, director of public affairs at the airport, CBS reported.
“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,” Ms. Fennell said.
The airport already has a chapel in Terminal A and is expected to open an interdenominational chapel in the near future.

Orlando airport for moslems! The shame of FL. $350K worth. We know the Saudis could finance this. Will “unbelievers” and/or moms be able to rest their infants there or will they be kicked out? Will Christians get prayer rooms too? Why is FL catering to them? Why are we acting like dhimmis? http://truthuncensore.wpengine.com/orlando-international-airport-building-350000-muslim-prayer-room/#s
Islamic Society of Central Florida which is quoted in the article has Hamas connection (almost all mosques do.) https://concernedamericancitizens.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/hamas-fundraising-at-florida-mosque/
ORLANDO AIRPORT is only inviting added problems to the area because the muslim world do not accept and will kill all JEWS, CHRISTIANS and ALL THAT REFUSE TO CONVERT TO THEIR ISLAM/MUSLIM Cult.
