LINK Canada Muslim told not to pray at Canadian train station
Good for that Canadian guard. Let him pray at home. These religious motherfuckers think it's their world.

@Scott321 Canada is a British Commonwealth, they have a Governor General who represent Church of England. I don't know if they have a free expression law, which the US enforces, I don't know if by Canadian law that guard is within his rights. He could claim the guy was loitering.They don't have establishment clause, which the US ignores by having Christian federal holidays. Most Americans don't think the free expression clause includes Atheism, Satanism, Wiccan etc.
As long as they are not blocking a thoroughfare, I say leave them alone. Strong-arm tactics are not the way to counter superstitions.

They ignore the prayer rules. Jesus said to pray in your closet. Muslims make a big deal all out in to open about it but I bet Mo never told them to do it this way.

Exercise whatever delusions you please. Just don't infringe, in any way, on anyone else.

Nope.
The guard was wrong.
He obviously went to an out of the way place.

Good for that guard. Somebody's gotta stand up for secularism.
@barjoe I think he was standing up for xenophobia.
Doubt he would have forcefully stopped a family saying a blessing over a meal.
Actually I don't care who prays to what or where as long as they don't block my way

You don't care, but some people do.
It looked as if he went to a place deliberately out of the way.
That prayer was no more obtrusive than a family saying a blessing before a meal at Denny's.
@barjoe again, no sweat off my arse what people do as long as it doesn't interfere with me. Cant see where anything he did would be more than just a minor nuisance.
