muslims praying at west ham

[Mr. Martinez]

Was debating what the right place (IF ANY) for the above picture was...

Taken shortly before half time at Upton Park last night.

Situation got a bit peak apparently. They were told to stop praying as it wasn't appropriate. etc etc.

A lot of opinions being expressed right now.

I'm not sure I actually know what's right or wrong here?

Help?

Make a thread

sorry... what exactly is happening? they started praying at the stadium?

[Mr. Martinez]

They were praying yea

they were also told to stop by some fans who found it inappropriate

I'm not sure what my take is on it, should we have faith rooms to accommodate people?

I mean is it fair to say you can't go to a football game cos you're muslim?

What do other clubs do?

This is a joke, my father in law had to move away from green Street when that lot started taking over and moved to Essex. Now they want to turn Upton Park into a bloody mosque. Fucking place already looks like Mumbai with these trader's in them front shop windows selling them phone cards.

We can't bend over any further to these people. We need to fight back

[Woodpecker]

get the fucking boys down

 

although these lot might have a little chuckle that its in upton park

 

[Gordon Gekko]

SMFH that fb video is embarrassing...to your own fucking fans as well

 

Don't give them a prayer room as it'll just segregate them but i don't see why the white lads got offended by it. Its not bothering anyone, its not like they're blocking a staircase

[Woodpecker]

what is so hard for people to understand that alot of people dont like other races, how can you not understand the obvious result of a group of muzzies praying at a football stadium, should be relieved the whole place wasnt locked down with terrorist police

[dub]

If it wasn't a silent prayer then maybe there'd be grounds to have a room used for prayer.

 

Do any of you guys work with Muslims who take time in their day to go pray?

THIS IS ENGLAND NOT FACKING ISLAMABAD MATE

[JOHN DOE]

why should people have to see this guys praying and shit when they just came to see at footy match 

 

pray in your own homes ffs

I do 

 

Heard a few inappropriate comments from colleagues before.

 

I really don't see the problem.

[dub]

So what do they do? Is there a private room?

 

tbh if heads are allowed to take smoking breaks then taking a break to pray should be fine with people

[JLovely]

Yeah we have a training room which they use if it's not occupied. 

[Woodpecker]

lol what do u do if ur muslim and work in retail or some shit

Might be because of the ethos I've been brought up on cause of who i support and where i'm from but this is football, its not us against them, football for most fans is a collective gathering of people who are all together for the same thing - their team

 

So what if a rather small group of people (incredibly small if you think of the average attendance in the premier league) need to pray before they go out there and support their other religion

 

The type of ignorance shown in the video would usually piss me off anyway but at a fucking footy game is just ludicrous and as stated, its a fucking silent prayer and its not like they done it on the terraces and demanded silence amongst fans 

[Gordon Gekko]

They have to pray at certain times right?! Theres no choice of staying at home and missing the match. They clearly weren't bothering anyone i don't see what the problem is

[dub]

as with every aspect of religion you choose whether you take part in it, but yes there are certain times of the day when you're expected to pray
