Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life? You decide. - beagledave - 03-26-2013 http://www.tennessean.com/viewart/20130325/NEWS02/303250057/TN-lawmakers-confuse-mop-sink-Muslim-foot-washing-sink Sigh. Re: Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life? You decide. - the_poochies - 03-26-2013 There's stupid, and then there's Tennessee GOP stupid. The Daily Show and/or Colbert are gonna have fun with this one. Re: Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life?

We have lots of muslim visitors at work, and it's not safe for them to be hoppping around on one foot washing their feet in the sinks. Freedom and respect need to go hand in hand. And I always hated having to lift a heavy mop bucket up to empty it into a slop sink. Saves on back injuries ! Re: Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life?

Re: Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life?

Building managers and legislative staffers have sought to reassure some concerned Tennessee lawmakers that recent renovations at the state Capitol did not install special facilities for Muslims to wash their feet before praying... because the facilities included no more that a common mop sink and many felt that it was disrespectful not to have installed a complete suite of bathing devices, rails and a drying station of sufficient quality to show their respect for people of faith.

Sacrificial bull furnace for the followers of Baal ? Re: Mop sink or threat to Christian way of life?

Better to have decent blood-drains and a reliable furnace that's up to code than to have to clean up after an improvised blood-sacrifice and bull furnace. |
