    I have nothing againced Religion, but the problems this would create would be enormous, and verging on descrimination. People should just learn to live with other cultures.

    I think its fine if an airport wishes to provide such a room but there should be no law requiring them to do so. There is no law stating that people are legally entitled to smoke but airports don't allow smoking in the building proper and they provide smoking rooms.

    My answer is no. It would be discriminatory and other Religions could demand equal accomodation. RC and Anglican religious would need to be accomodated as they are required to pray at certain times of the day.

    Also, what about train and bus stations?

    Too complicated.

    Yes, provide prayer rooms/chapels but not only for Muslims.
    The UK had a bit of a hoo-ha about chapels in Prisons recently as some Christians were objecting to them being used by Muslims as well.
