A prayer room for Muslims is being tentatively planned for Ben-Gurion Airport, as part of a series of steps aimed at strengthening ties with the Muslim community, the Airport Authority announced Thursday.
The authority's CEO Gabi Ofir instructed the airport's management to make sure the room would feature the conditions necessary for observant Muslims. According to Islamic doctrine, a prayer room must meet three central conditions: purity of location, purity of the body and purity of clothes. The square-shaped room will meet those standards.
Specifically, a purification water trough will be set up, as well as a 35 cm. rest bench. The 20 square meter room will face southeast. The room will be carpeted and have a niche facing Mecca on one of its walls. It will also contain a library with Korans.

Jill states "this had better not happen in my country"
You're kidding, right? Apparently the six imams case is heading in that direction . . .from Dec. 1st-
MINNEAPOLIS - Airport officials said Friday they will consider setting aside a private area for prayer and meditation at the request of imams concerned about the removal of six Muslim clerics from a US Airways flight last week.
Steve Wareham, director of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, said other airports have "meditation rooms" used for prayers or by passengers who simply need quiet time.
A group of Somali clerics met with airport officials Friday and said they would attract less attention if they had a private area for prayer. Devout Muslims pray five times daily, facing the holy city of Mecca.
