Well a group of six muslim scholars were recently removed from a plane for performing thier evening prayer, the muslim community of pheonix was outraged

Do you realize how wrong that is Mat? They should be able to pray if they want to, without explaining to anyone. Do christians have to explain before they pray? No. Is it illegal to speak arabic? No. Is it illegal to move in a plane? No. Is it illegal for anyone to pray? No. So why must they have to explain themselves?
I... I ... I can't believe I'm going to say this but. I sort of agree with you Mat. While America's current paranoia of muslim terrorists is well known and easily seen. Before you do things the majority of a group will not understand you should make your intentions known. it would have taken seconds to inform a flight attendant that its prary time. People should be aware of their environment. It is sad that we are in such a nervous state that all forgieners seem like suspects and that there is so little general knowagle of about world religions but ignoreing these conditions is not going to alleviate them or prevent them from affecting you.
we dont live in an ideal world, minority groups must explain themselves to avoid suspision. You can say thats wrong all you want but its not something that will change. People wont stop you from praying, but they will stop you when you are doing something they have no ablitiy to understand.
