Sun pays £30,000 damages to Muslim bus driver accused of fanaticism

Lol at prayer being a sign of an impending bomb going off. Good thing you aren't in a country where people carry prayer mats with them so that they can prayer wherever they are.
 
This was a totally inconsiderate thing to do imo, especially if you know there a non-muslims on board. There is some leeway in the time you can pray if you are praying on your own. (specific times only really apply for the sake of a congregation). He should have waited till the end of the route.

@Vita, I know Arabs combine prayers but not the rest of the muslims afaik

They've merged two completely unrelated topics spreed about a year appart.

1 this guy stopping mid route to pray.

The other praying on the empty bus during his rest break and then sueing the sun for labelling him as some fanatic nutter.
 
:p

The thread title refers to an old article which is about a Muslim getting damages for being accused by the Sun of praying while on a bus:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/feb/26/sun-pays-damages-to-muslim-bus-driver

However, recently there was another story:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249335/Bus-delayed-Muslim-driver-pulls-pray-aisle.html

Cue standard 'outrage' thread.

However the Dons in their wisdom decided to merge the two threads, causing complete confusion as the cases while similar, are quite different as are the respective posts in response :p

Bloody Southerners, they think the world revolves around London.. Because of course there is never any delays anywhere else in the country...

Probably because people being delayed to get to the Job Centre isn't nearly as news-worthy - what's going to happen, they get 30 minutes less to blow it all on shell suits, bookies and chips n gravy?

Ok as a fellow muslim, I understand he had to pray. But surley since he was working, he could have prayed this prayer along with the next prayer, at the next prayers time. That's if, if he wasn't working.

Could have prayerd on his 5 min break even, if it was on at the prayer time.

Yo dawg.
 
Someone was doing this on the train when I was on the way to London yesterday. Just got up then sat in the middle of the carriage and started praying! I think everyone was keeping an eye on his backpack but what can you do?! I've never experienced anything like that before but it was more of an adrenaline rush than Alton Towers that's for sure :D

I've lived with a few muslims before and they usually just prayed in their rooms, not in public in front of a load of people.

What would you do?
You're on a bus with your family and suddenly out of the blue the bus stops, driver kneels down on the floor and starts praying.
What do you do, sit there and pussy out?

I don't mind admitting at that point I would have poo'd myself but at least I'd be trying to kick a window out and if that wasn't possible I'd be stamping on his head.

(of course the original story may be untrue but let's pretend it happened)

You would have to immobilze him fast. The best thing to do is stamp on the upper back and pull his arms back, that way he can't reach for the tigger. Worth a few hours questioned by the police as i have done nothing as i believed at the time i was protecting everyone on the bus. To be frank i am utterly stunned something like this didn't happen and everyone would have been blown to bits just because they were sitting there like numpties if it was the real deal.
 
Yes, I'm sure any prospective bomber, rather than just blowing himself up, would take the time to pray first in front of everyone. :confused:
 
From past incidents recorded, they do at least say a few words before they go, if you want to sit there like a pussy then be my guest. I'm not taking the risk

just wondering how many prayers are said by muslims in the uk a year....5 a day multiplied by x amount of muslims ..then multiplied by 365.

now how many have blew up after reading their prayer ?:p

im guessing the percentage would be pretty low....you probably got more chance of getting killed in a car accident.

but if you want to believe what some papers try and push forward then why stop there...maybe you can cripple some kids when they get their joypads out incase they go on a killing spree after playing gta.
