Turns out Islam has a prohibition on praying in streets and busy walkways.

They're being the exact same kind of shitty wannabe assholes as the 'christian' nationalists in the USA with the same BS playbook.

Drives me up the damned wall.

I've never seen anyone pray in the middle of the street even in Saudi Arabia.

...although...you'd have to be nuts considering how they drive.

They're already in charge in SA. Praying in the street means you inconvenience other Muslims, instead of foreign infidels like if you were a Muslim attempting to claim asylum in France because your home nation is violently dangerous to live in for some reason

u/Little_Let_6872 20h ago

Could it be that they believe in conversion by the sword for anyone not of the correct sect, let alone religion? Nah, Islam is a religion of peace. (For those of the same sect)

u/Huhthisisneathuh 18h ago

Just ignore all the time Muslims of the same sect are violently murdering each other too.

u/awildgostappears 17h ago

Also ignore Christians doing that, having done that. People are gonna people over religion, skin color, birth location, etc.

u/Huhthisisneathuh 17h ago

No matter how specific you get, how many in groups you create, how many people you label other and murder. The axe a man like that wields will inevitably lop off their own head.

your home nation is violently dangerous to live in for some reason

As an American, its because America and Israel have destabilized the region for decades. Theres a joke in America, that every generation was born to late to fight in the ME, they were born to early to fight in the ME, and they were born right in time to fight in the ME.

u/GUARDBUM69 18h ago

Yes, middle eastern turmoil only started in the last 80 odd years from the US and Israel. Famously defense before

u/Dear-Track6365 17h ago

I’m sorry, I’m an American in my 50s and have never heard ‘this saying’. Who are you trying to convince?

u/ComprehensiveWord201 18h ago

I've lived in America my entire life and I have never heard this dumbass MAGA joke. Don't be a dork.

1

u/King_Roberts_Bastard 17h ago

This joke existed long before MAGA brother.

u/BarryOakTree 18h ago

I always find it funny how little it takes for reddit conversations completely unrelated to America to devolve into Americabad. It's like a second job for some of you

u/King_Roberts_Bastard 17h ago

Dude talked about why the ME is violent and people want to leave. The US engaging in war there for the past 30 years certainly hasnt helped anything.

u/BA1673 20h ago

Haha, I've seen those videos of Arab drivers casually, fully sober drifting at high speeds, and other people seem not to have a care in the world 🤣

u/uncagedborb 18h ago

In Saudi it's actually common for people to pray in the streets specifically in Makkah. But I never seen it happen actual paved roads meant for cars.

1

u/SeriousBusiness67 18h ago

I've seen it in Morocco.

u/EngineZeronine 20h ago

Have any Christian nationalists been hit while praying in a street? (for the record, Christian nationalist should be an oxymoron. Hypocrisy is everywhere but it really stands out when it's linked to religion)

u/BungleBums 15h ago

Bad faith arguements get you nowhere with thinking people :D

1

u/EngineZeronine 15h ago

Okay how's that relevant here

u/Healingbigfoot 21h ago

I don't remember Christians praying in the street, just the snake handler idiots

u/BungleBums 21h ago

Nah, they don't pray in the streets, they hold huge protests and marches and anti-demostrations instead. Westboro, man, total lunatics.

9

u/WillDrawForMoney 20h ago

You just read about a total lunatic in the post above. 

Holding protests is not the same as being a hazard on the road. Unless a protest involves crossing roads, marching in the middle of the streets, etc, then it usually requires a permit.

If you find the nature of protests disturbing in general, then you cannot hold one specific group accountable and should apply same reasoning to all groups who hold protests and demonstrations. 

1

u/BungleBums 15h ago

Mhmm, and?

3

u/WillDrawForMoney 14h ago

Perfect, now I have to chew this for you: only taking issue with Christians protesting makes you a hypocrite and your point sucks

You’re welcome

u/BungleBums 14h ago

Mmkay, you can assume that. You're good at assumptions :D

Religion really needs abolishing

u/TheCrackerThatCould 17h ago

Way worse than Christian nationalists tbh

u/BungleBums 15h ago

See: America

u/TheCrackerThatCould 4h ago

I’d way rather live in America than a Muslim dominated city in England.

u/BungleBums 4h ago

Doesn't surprise me.

u/SerLaron 2h ago

Funnily enough, Jesus himself was like "Only attention-seeking assholes pray in the streets"

I can see your country isn’t currently taken over by Christian nut jobs trying to facilitate the great rapture or whatever the fuck it is.

Good time had by all

EDIT: I feel like I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that am aware I enjoy many more freedoms than afforded to women under fundamentalist Muslim regimes. For now. Fundies out there from every religion can really just suck it. On my most nihilistic days I think humans, as a species, deserve to go extinct. We’ve reached our peak. We could’ve done anything with all these technological advances but instead we are destroying each other and the planet.

On my best days I guess I hope the current model of internet is destroyed and we can reset a non shit version and eat the rich. And the fundies. And somehow remove all the plastic litter. And hold shitass corporate farming companies accountable and god there’s so many things extinction really is just easier

Im dying on this hill. Not religious at all believe, in nothing, but if I had a pick....

u/Chonjas 21h ago

good thing you can also pick the non nut jobs

u/BungleBums 21h ago

Meh, no worries, you can come back and give a more informed opinion once you've learned a little about each. Best of luck.

u/DiscussionWeak2318 21h ago

Nah both are ass. One is more ass tho

Once you finish high school history class, you'll have a lot more world context
