I am OK with that. As long as it is not Christian prayers. That would be inpermissible.

The prayers are repeated 17 times  every day.
The prayer al Fatiha is cursing Christians and Jews.

Not many kuffar know that.

How about watching the video first and opening a narrative about the subject of Muslim prayer, which is what it was about, instead of opening with just insults aimed at the op for unprovoked reasons

My post points out the double standard of the left.
Christian prayers are forbidden, but Muslim prayers are just fine.

Except this is a complete lie. Please tell me you know this.

If you want to bring up double standards, you should look toward God-Fearing Christians and their widespread anti-Muslim bigotry.

Mostly all you do is point out your own double standards, through example...

But Christian prayers in schools do?

so you are claiming that Christian kids can’t pray in school, but Muslim kids can? Is this your claim? You need to start working on your critical thinking skills or I don’t hold much hope for your future.

I thought that anyone could pray in an american school.   Those prayers just can't be led by a teacher.

This. I have no problems with Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, followers of the one true God and destroyer Cthullu or whoever praying in school, so long as it is not lead by teachers and staff or interferes with class time.

I think it's pretentious as shit, particularly for Christians who don't have a religious mandate to do it, but if an individual wants to pray and isn't forcing someone else to, or shaming someone else for not, then it's none of my business.

see, THIS is how you have a conversation about this kind of thing, no ad hominem, no insults, just opening the board on thoughts on this system at play.

I agree, people should have the right to teach their religious gobbledegook within environments designed for them to do so, just as long as its not forced onto a secular setting, there are religious schools for that.

EXACTLY. Are you paying attention, PR126?

I am angry about the bigotry in this country. It got that horrific mess elected president, and it gets people killed every day. FORGIVE me for getting snippy with a person who posts outright lies and then tells me to "get lost" when I challenge it.
You are goddamn right I am angry.
