DALLAS — Texas has opened an investigation into a new form of discrimination after DFW Airport scrapped plans for Muslim foot-washing stations.
The question troubling white Texans: if Muslims can't have foot-washing facilities, why can't everyone?
"I'm white, I have feet, I travel internationally," said Dallas resident Chad Wilkins, 47. "It's an obvious foot-based double standard."
Wilkins said he had never washed his feet before boarding a plane.
"That's not the point."
DFW had planned two additional ablution stations, saying dedicated basins would reduce water left on bathroom floors by Muslim travelers performing wudu. The airport later abandoned the project. Gov. Greg Abbott called for a federal review, citing religious favoritism.
Within days, the Americans for White Foot Equality had formed.
"We're not asking for special treatment," said spokesperson Karen Bell. "We're asking for exactly what Muslims are getting."
Asked what that was, Bell paused.
"Foot washing. Apparently."
A Texas lawmaker warned: "Today it's feet. Tomorrow it's sinks. Then we're rearranging airports around five daily prayers."
He paused.
"Or however many there are."
Christian groups are now reportedly considering their own foot-washing proposal.
"Jesus washed people's feet," said one pastor. "Why isn't anybody talking about us?"
DFW said it would evaluate any proposal based on cost, risk and operational benefit.
The pastor called that "exactly what Jesus would have wanted."
By press time, investigators had found no evidence of Sharia law being imposed on anyone.
They had found water on the bathroom floor.
