Bristol Airport is under fire for its new Multi- Faith shelter erected in the airport waiting zone. The airport has placed it there so Muslims waiting to collect “loved ones” will have somewhere to pray. Why?
Unfortunately the criticism is about the unsuitability of the construction . It looks like a bus shelter or a smoking zone. And no doubt that how it will be used – as a fag strewn dogging zone. Muslims have also complained that it’s too small, too open and not oriented towards Mecca. Oh dear?
The real question for me is why one is needed in the first place? Must we have prayer zones for Muslims in every waiting area? Why not ones for Christians and Jews while we are at it. Or a nice meditation zone for Buddhists with a gentle running water soundtrack and wind chimes.
The constant pandering to Muslims has made this country a shadow of what it once was. Pathetic.
Addendum. It’s described as a “ multi- faith” zone. But everyone knows for whom it is intended. Who else needs to pray every 10 minutes of the day.
