Just as the UK has fallen so shall we! I’m sick!

[Vaquero]

Al Franken can be the greeter....

Where is the ACLU on this? Prayer in a public place? My goodness- the ACLU should be screaming bloody murder- oh wait- they only do that about CHRISTIAN prayer in public.

[BigFinn]

Some Muslims also worry that their repetitive calls of “Allah akbar!” (God is great!) during prayers could be misconstrued as calls for Jihad.

Shopping Jihadis... economics over security.

“Of course, out curiosity people will stare at you but don’t say anything,” said Shuuriye Ali. “I wish they would ask. I would love to educate them about my peaceful religion.”

Oh PUKE!

Christians pray at malls all the time. I’m sure the mall leaders would be willing to set aside another room just for us. YEAH, RIGHT!

I’m surprised there are any muzzies left in Minneapolis...I thought all those “missing” Somali muzzies were back in Somalia training to destroy the great satan.

“I had to say my prayer at a corner,” Ali said. “I was stared at, but no one bothered me.”

Could anybody, other than a Moslem, do this in Saudi Arabia? I'll leave the answer to your imagination.

I feel the very same way...

[miliantnutcase]

They found them and brought them back... =-(

Christians should call for a prayer room for every one built at every mall, every airport, every crevice. The Fair-prayer Doctrine.

[Grunthor]

So long as the prayer room is available to all faiths and not just one, there is no problem with this.

But she and other Muslims needed to take time from the activities of the mall and find a quiet area to...

...strap on their bomb vests.

[weegee]

The Freedom From Religion atheists are only against public signs of Christianity (we aren’t even talking prayer rooms). All other faiths get a pass.

And a private business can do what the corporation wants to do but this is a strange thing to embrace. How did the muslims in America go about their 5 times daily prayers until now? What has changed? Oh, that’s right we got attacked on 9-11 and now it is wrong to be critical of Islam.

I was educated on 9/11, thank you! /sarc

“Of course, out curiosity people will stare at you but don’t say anything,” said Shuuriye Ali. “I wish they would ask. I would love to educate them about my peaceful religion.” What? It is peaceful as long as you submit to them!

[Grunthor]

Everything I needed to know about your “peaceful” religion I learned on 9/11.

If it’s a private company, they should be able to do whatever the hell they want. As a country, we should require that our government prohibit individuals from entering it who are so entirely incompatible to the core of our beliefs.
