Pakistani cab driver praying on the top of his cab

[DRaisinHerald]

no...i just want to understand the logic behind the great video ?

he posted it because its interesting?

 

[Nitin Goyal]

If he is such a great devotee he could have taken time to go in the proper place ...why to create ruckus in a middle of a road and do the showoff ?

Mashallah - Subhanallah.

It is mistake you praise this old man. You didn't realize it. I remember you have this third time same youtube video last year.

I tell you, this old man is seeking attention to show off their namaz to the foreigners walking. Also, this guy wear shalwar kameez, this will make them to think like Pakistan is terrorist and have no tolerances towards them.

It is wrong condemn act by this illiterate old man, though I am Muslim myself I know what it is humble way in private between me and God, not public celebrity show off or taxi top!

Accusing someone of showoff without credible proof is just wrong...
He may be standing on taxi ranks awaiting his turn and the back of his car may have been the most convenient place to pray.

i have done similar things as in praying in parks and grassy patches in foreign lands while i was out on a stroll and it was time to pray and i knew there was no mosque nearby...

You are right, this can be one of the reasons.. and I don't know the taxi system in New York so if that's was really a case I would consider apology.

But apparently the taxi is not parked in the taxi ranks and the way traffic is flowing smoothly on his right hand side, There is hardly a possibility of this assumption. Most likely its a laziness of the taxi driver who is so devoted (or show off) that he started praying right on the spot instead of finding a suitable place for the prayer

these type of acts leads to islamphobia.

multicultural societies also does not think it is cool. earlier, read some bus driver(s) did this during their duty time. as someone earlier said, keep your beliefs to oneself than doing it publicly.

Foreginers viewed this (in walking)---- "we are bad people, you wow praying to God bow down in the public, you think you will blow up soon ?? Why we are bad people to you, p-a-k-i ? "

Illiterate old man praing-----"Try pray in the public, it is time to praise Allah.....hopefully some of them will convert to Muslims, exposed them our namazz, a powerful Muslim religion in the world! "

No one will come to his taxi for trips after saw showoff namaz.

Bro, I have seen this video here many times here in PDF, nothing new.. There is nothing to praise this illiterate shalwar-kameez old taxi driver...

Praying is not a shameful thing to do...Its way better than the things people do in Public.....i can mention many things being done on streets of Newyork.
Praying is people's personal act...he was doing it on something he owned or was entitled to use at his discretion..
Somebody who has a problem can always look away...

Its a classical reaction of a devout Muslim as a pushback against racial profiling of Muslims in the West.. Its almost saying "Profile This"..

Dear Hindu,

There are things humanity doesnt know. ALLAH's logic is beyond us.

Dear representitive of muslims on this thread,
we are discussing the action of an Individual, not ALLAH's logic.(your words)
Many muslims here feel uncomfortable with public display of devotion.

faithfully,
me( dont feel like representing any org today)

you are one confused boy...
at the start of the comment you say "its his deed"

at the middle you change to condemnation..

at the end you almost equate this to having sex on the street with a teenage girl...

I think it is part of a comedy program like candid camera or something.
I have seen another such video in youtube, in which muslims pray in the middle of road (just for winding up people, who were later shown they are on candid camera).
