Pastor Speaks Out After Muslims Take Over Chapel at Dallas Airport and Block Him from Entering; Texas Rep. Chip Roy Presses DFW Airport Over Allegations Christian Pastor Was Blocked from Entering Chapel During Muslim Prayer

Pastor Speaks Out After Muslims Take Over Chapel at Dallas Airport and Block Him from Entering:

When Pastor Tom Ascol first heard about a “prayer service” at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, he admitted that he had “very low expectations.”

Even Ascol couldn’t have foreseen how badly this “prayer service” would miss even his low expectations.

Ascol gained quite a bit of virality recently when he recounted an infuriating experience he had at DFW Airport:

As I await my flight home from seeing Voddie’s family an announcement in @DFWAirport says “all are welcome” to a “prayer service” in the chapel. With broken heart I went hoping maybe Scripture would at least be read. Instead I found this & was denied access. Imam-led Salah. pic.twitter.com/p6GhJ4IESB

Ascol revealed that he was at that airport as he was waiting to fly back home after seeing the family of Voddie Baucham, a titan of Christianity who recently passed away.

“As I await my flight home from seeing Voddie’s family an announcement in [DFW Airport] says ‘all are welcome’ to a ‘prayer service’ in the chapel,” Ascol posted. “With broken heart I went hoping maybe Scripture would at least be read. Instead I found this & was denied access. Imam-led Salah.”

Ascol shared a picture of this “prayer service,” which turned out to be a Muslim prayer service.

While the pastor’s disappointment was palpable, things only got worse. --->READ MORE HERE

Exclusive–Texas Rep. Chip Roy Presses DFW Airport Over Allegations Christian Pastor Was Blocked from Entering Chapel During Muslim Prayer:

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) sent a letter to the CEO of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on Thursday pressing for answers after a Christian pastor was allegedly blocked from entering a chapel at the airport during a Muslim prayer service.

Roy’s letter to DFW CEO Chris McLaughlin, which Breitbart News first obtained, references a post on X by Tom Ascol, who is pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida. Ascol posted pictures of the Meadows Interfaith Chapel in DFW, showing an ongoing Muslim prayer service and said he was “denied access” after the airport announcement about the interfaith chapel said, “All are welcome.”

“As I await my flight home from seeing Voddie’s family an announcement in @DFWAirport says ‘all are welcome’ to a ‘prayer service’ in the chapel. With broken heart I went hoping maybe Scripture would at least be read. Instead I found this & was denied access. Imam-led Salah,” Ascol alleged in a post to X on Sept. 26, noting the recent passing of renowned pastor and theologian Voddie Baucham.

Roy said in his letter the incident “raises serious questions about the management of DFW’s chapels, which are designed as interfaith spaces open 24/7 to all travelers.”

“To deny Christians’ entry into a public chapel in one of America’s largest airports undermines the stated mission of the chaplaincy. As a public institution, DFW International Airport is supported by Texas taxpayers and sustained by millions in federal grants, infrastructure funding, and aviation program allocations,” he wrote. “That support comes with a clear obligation: ensure facilities pursue neutrality. DFW Airport has a duty to ensure that no chapel is co-opted for religious advocacy, ideological conformity, or exclusion, and that all operations comply with such principles.” --->READ MORE HERE
