Cab driver Yuriy Artuyunyan says, “We cannot have breakfast, we cannot go to restroom, we cannot play chess.”

“They were going like this, using their fingers, saying, ‘You F-ing Jew, you don’t want us to pray here.”

Salt Lake City, Utah-A shuttle driver has filed a complaint with the FAA against the Salt Lake International Airport, saying officials allowed thousands of religious services to be conducted on public property.

Shuttle driver Jeff Brueningsen took photos inside the building he and other drivers share at the airport. “It was definitely an Islamic center.” He said it didn’t feel right, so he filed a complaint with the FAA against the airport.

“In proper, polite company you never bring up politics or religion. And they introduced both instantly into what’s supposed to be a professional, secular transportation-aviation facility,” Brueningsen said.

Barbara Gann, with the Salt Lake International Airport, said, “There were some grave concerns over safety and possible escalating violence.”

Airport officials say they never sanctioned prayers, but they never stopped them. Instead they trusted the drivers to be courteous and respectful to one another, a plan that didn’t work.
