Other perspectives on praying football fans
From A Rose is a Rose is a Rose:
maybe it was only because they were giants fans
Rose Cubed then quotes from an article:
Five Muslim football fans were detained and questioned during a game at Giants Stadium because they were congregating near an air duct on a night former President Bush was in the stadium, the FBI said Wednesday.
Some of the Muslims said they did not know they were in a sensitive area....
Around halftime, 10 security officers and three state troopers approached the men and told them to come with them, Shaban said.
The men were questioned and then were not allowed to return to their seats, but were instead assigned to seats in another section, Shaban said. Three guards stood near them, and escorted them to their cars when they left the stadium, he said....
Athosxc asks:
Now the question: If a CHRISTIAN was praying in public, would it cause a fuss? If a Christian said " I pray continuously no matter where I am, because I am a Christian, it is what Christians do" and wanted to take this as an opportunity to educate the public about Christianity, would it be as readily accepted? Since I'm taking the initiative in finding a bone to pick here where there isn't one, (purely for the sake of asking us all to think), let me clarify that I have no problem with the muslims or anyone else praying in public. My question is on the public's reaction and even the acceptance of the act by other religions. Would we as Christians have our views as easily accepted?? I don't think so, but you may think differently.
