Prayer Rooms at AFL Stadiums

[nubs]

@JellyDonut that video you posted says sooooo much about you as a person

I am so sick of people pointing fingers against Muslims, yes there has been an incident where a Muslim did not do the correct thing however that does not mean you judge others by a few peoples actions. Especially living in Australia you should learn to respect everyone's culture and appreciate the diverse people that surround you. We all dress different, eat different, look different but at the end of the day we are all human beings. Why can't we all just put our cultural differences aside and treat each other with respect, the way everyone should be treated. And why is it that this debate began as an issue about prayer rooms and you begin attacking Muslims first with "Muslambs" and then with the video?

I hope you're being sarcastic, chiral. It's blatantly obvious that that video JellyDonut posted was done so in an attempt to mock that skinhead
The video was meant to be funny; JellyDonut was simply exposing the guy's complete and utter stupidity so it could be laughed at.

Pull your head out of your ass

If this prayer room is for all religions then couldn't that result in a conflict between people with diff. religions?

My point: If a prayer room won't make the AFL/MCG/AFL clubs any more money they do without it then they won't go ahead with it. End of story. Sorry if that sounds harsh/ignorant whatever you want to call it, but it's the truth.

Well like i said i don't agree with a prayer for everyone but one that is separate ones.

Secondly, who said the point of a prayer room was to make money?That is just stupid and should not be the intention when making a prayer room. It is to allow everyone who wants to watch the footy or any other match but has religious commitments to attend and enjoy the game whilst being able to take part in religious customs. I gave an example in one of the earlier post where i also stated that if my prayer time clashed with the time the match would be on then I would not attend and if there was provisions then this would just make it fair and easier for everyone.

exactly... to entice muslim footy fans to attend and therefore make money

Someone said it earlier. If the AFL wasn't driven by greed for money they would have extra time for Grand Finals that end up in draws instead of making the teams replay it next week and selling 100,000 more tickets.

I would imagine that you are in a very small minority, then.

@Nirbaan firstly i don't think this was necessary : Pull your head out of your ass

secondly what 'skinhead' i thought the 'skinhead' was JellyDonut? To me it seems like he was being racist.

[nubs]

It was necessary, chiral. I believe the best way to expose someone's blatant ignorance is through mockery.

The skinhead was the british guy in the video JellyDonut posted.
JellyDonut was not being racist, stop jumping to conclusions. It's almost as if you're looking for a conflict situation where you can stand up for your faith.

Also, since when was 'muslamb' a slur against muslims?

Okay no, this thread is obviously not going to go well so in the interests of keeping things civil and polite here, I'm locking it.
