What happens when a muslim prays in a public area in US

[Kloitra]

The video is showing the opposite!

I haven't seen it, but guess that someone praying Namaz in public is being harassed? You don't think that it is reaction and not action? The infamy is not due to this single video, but because of media in past 15 years are so.

But it is. Nobody has the right to block a public right of way.

You are being far too 'by the book'. Sitting on a sufficiently wide pavement for few minutes doesn't hurts anyone.

and why did he pray in public? i for one would feel shy in praying in public, well i think he was a showoff, or was just trying to test others..............

Some mentality...

It is in fact not some surprise to pray in public...I have prayed in a car, train and aeroplane no one has said anything...Why feel shy? I would feel shy in front of ALLAH

 

[Kloitra]

Because unlike other religions, Islam followers consider non Islamic religions as untrue and hence in most Islamic countries they dont get equal rights.

Actually all Abrahamic religions considers other as untrue.

its not prayer but gimmick! i have such gimmick like Pakistani team praying in cricket fields !

And your priests on the pitches right before the matches...........?

Like I asked @seiko show me how a Christian and Hindu prays in public and I will give him the answer...Islamic laws only state no propagation of the religion...and that was also to avoid confusion and adulterating of Islam during that time...

Before questioning the laws, one needs to know the laws...

As for Saudi I cant speak for them for I am not sure of the origin of some of the laws but for Shariah or Islamic laws I can answer as I know the very basics up to intermediate knowledge...But again it all comes to what type of prayer is @seiko referring to?

I have seen people pray in public parks on footpaths...its common no one says anything because that is the thinking to accept it as it is why be nosy?

Dropping one's pants in public doesn't hurt anyone either. It is not a matter of hurt. It is a matter of what is rightfully considerate.

@seiko again I request:

so give me 1 compulsory part of Christianity or Hinduism that one can do in Public...

 

[Iggy]

Like I said I hear you show me how a Christian or a Hindu prays in public...then we can analyze what you want to say...

I am asking you why cant a Hindu or Christian cannot pray in public.. Neither of the religion ban them to do so.. Why are you sticking in these kind of stupid question?

 

[punit]

And your priests on the pitches right before the matches...........?

when did that happened ! if true equally wrong!

And that is exactly what our prayer composes of yet we see Indians flooding this thread with their "questions" trying to prove otherwise

it is my view, i do not say other should do it, your free to pray where u like

 

[Hindustani78]

preaching is not praying...Yoga is not an essential part of any faith...However Solat as shown in this video is compulsory...so give me 1 compulsory part of Christianity or Hinduism that one can do in Public...

So what you think preaching and yoga are ?
