Texas Gov Abbott asks the Justice Department to investigate 'discriminatory' Islamic washing stations

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday he had referred "discriminatory" religious facilities at two of the state's major airports to the Justice Department over the installation of Islamic foot-washing stations in its bathrooms.

Last week, Abbott directed the state to conduct a review of grants to entities operating Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for possible revocation and denial of future funding over plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities.
