@kirstyiso@aniobrien This was someone who misunderstood the western rule of law with sharia law based on a pretty basic conversation. It wasn’t clear from anything in that video that anyone was threatening that persons safety.
@PaulusWessex@aniobrien As a born catholic I would expect my right to practice peaceful prayer in my own way to be respected. As long as I am on intruding on the rights of others then no harm.
@kirstyiso@aniobrien Unless mistaken, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the faith of Islam that advised her against going to a mosque, but a state officer.
Still unclear of the point you’re struggling to make.
@kirstyiso@aniobrien What, some halfwit trying to criticise a place based on what she says she experienced and despite having a camera wasn’t able to demonstrate as single claim.
Seems to be a lot hysteria from people about what they think Islamic people are doing without much evidence.
@root_nz@outragedfortune@aniobrien Peaceful prayer? What harm can come from that?
As a catholic I always thought that the birth of Christ was the holiest of days, but I guess you could argue that his execution is also up there.
@coldcoffee23567 @aniobrien I wouldn’t know but to hazard a guess I would assume that they were looking to find a suitable public place where they could collectively pray in peace.
Can’t really see the problem.
@outragedfortune@aniobrien Yet the children and adults in the video here appear to be peacefully praying to their god.
They don’t seem to be inciting hate or violence and certainly don’t seem to be trying to convert the person who is filming them during their worship.
@outragedfortune@aniobrien No I wouldn’t claim to say I have a knowledgeable understanding of the extent of the faith of Islam.
What I know from friends and family who do practice the faith is that it can be done peacefully and respectful of others.
@aniobrien Completely agree.
Chill, would have been a much more apt response to a group of people peacefully going about their day by practicing their faith.
@aniobrien OMG you’re absolutely right. That explains why all the shops were closed yesterday. I feel like an idiot. And even worst I had a Syrian swawarma for dinner last night 😱 - I sure do hope my catholic ancestors can forgive my disrespectful behaviour of doing what I think.
