Guess it isn't like them busting into my house and setting up church.

If you are invited to my home, it is to work, or to party. Break out in a preacher when you're finished and you may not get asked to comeback.

Once they kneel and show they are praying , its a prayer for them but a demonstration to everyone else.
A demonstration is a dynamic suggestion, a dynamic suggestion is an influential form of communication, an influential form of communication is sales, they don't have the authority to use space for sales. It may be church for them but that has nothing to do with thieving space which is translated into pushing an agenda or sales, on everyone else. Plus it was organized-planned.

Yes. But that's not really relevant.

Again, I've stated time and time again that this family has an onerous burden that I doubt they'll be able to establish. But it is possible to establish. I don't understand your reluctance to acknowledge that the evidence I suggested they try and generate would likely be dispositive:

video recordings of clearly non-Muslim families kneeling and praying showing security not ejecting them.

Seeing as how the Empire state bldg lit up in yellow and red light to celebrate the 60th anniversary of communist china, it makes perfecr sense that a muslim would be unwelcome there.

The empire state buidling and its board need to be shunned for celebrating the communist anniversary.
Discourage everyone from going to that beacon of a murderous communist regime.

Where was that picture taken? Times Square in NYC?? or perhaps a Muslim country where people stop their cars, get out, and pray?

Is there a regulation forbidding prayer on top of the ESB?

If so, it should be abolished.

These people had their civil rights violated.
