Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is dropping plans to install washing stations for Muslim travelers in Terminal D after accelerating its review of the proposal amid increased public attention.<\/p>\n
The proposed stations were intended to allow Muslim travelers to perform wudu, a ritual washing before prayer.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the airport said it accelerated its review of the proposal following increased public attention and determined the project would not provide the expected operational benefits.<\/p>\n
The decision comes after Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to review state grants to DFW International Airport and Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport over religious accommodations.<\/p>\n
