Title: Look Out!!! that guy is praying!!!
Post by: Bob Noel on June 17, 2016, 09:04:50 AM
In the spirit of "See Something, Say Something" someone reported a guy was (GASP!!!) praying in a MBTA station and there was an armed response (Boston, MA area) (no, I don't have the url, I read it in a local newspaper).

<sigh>

Yep, let's get rid of guns and religion.

In fairness, there is a whole lotta' hysteria going on vis a vis Muslims. This doesn't seem unexpected.

Unexpected or not, it's still stupid.

There are some profane gestures in the video made against the woman which is the precise reason that women should not pray in the open like this.

Additionally, the Qur'an states that 'some should pray and others should stand guard (and then they reverse roles)'.  So the oft-seen scene of a man praying in public, although appearing pios is actually un-Islamic.

Lots of people coming to her aid.  I don't see where she washed her feet.
