Re: I feel guilty praying on planes because of attitudes like that everynametaken Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 12:37:21 AM
and by praying I mean in audibly whispering a prayer that most muslims say anytime they travel. I am paranoid that people will think im whispering something to someone or what not. And this is only after a friend of mine and her entire muslim family were kicked off a plane for wondering aloud to her husband, what part of the plane is supposed to be safest in case of an emergency. (that story made national headlines)


Sorry, but you couldn't say your prayers at home before leaving or in silence in your head on the plane? I have nothing against praying or religion but you might want to consider that praying (I assume in Arabic?)even in a whisper could be seen as very suspicious on a plane.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

His being Jewish has nothing to do with it. Use some common sense - pray silently. everynametaken - 22/01/2010 12:32:40 AM 560 Views
or they could have looked and said "no problem just a wooden box used for prayer" and not diverted random thoughts - 21/01/2010 10:33:58 PM 666 Views
Fair enough, I can agree that they could have done that and should have done that. everynametaken - 22/01/2010 12:34:08 AM 590 Views

People have every right to be suspicios without cause about what I SAY on a plane. Joel - 22/01/2010 01:57:24 AM 652 Views
Which is what's wrong with attitudes like that. Joel - 22/01/2010 01:11:32 AM 603 Views
