I can tell you this. It doesn't bother me. Way too many other issues to worry about in this country, than where one is praying, and what religion they subscribe to.

A lot of Christians don't pray before a meal but yet some do. Why is it our business what others do?

Bu bu bu bu...but it's their right . Our constitution says so... and to say anything different would make you a Muslim hater.

I hope you understand this is pure sarcasm.

There you go. That should resolve the whole matter.

You mean "the documents allege."
Besides if I was a Muslim about to unpack a bomb I'd do it in an isolated area with little foot traffic. Its reassuring that security at this tourist attraction has eyes in those areas.

Same here, I work with many and the only way I knew they were Muslim is because they told me.

Racism??? Race has nothing to do with religion. Are all Christians white?
