CAIR criticizes Texas governor for airport washing station proposal

The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has canceled plans for wudu stations, which are facilities for Islamic pre-prayer ablution, after Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened to cut state funding.

Abbott claims the facilities would promote religious discrimination, while CAIR contends that such accommodations are lawful and common in public spaces.
