Personally I wouldn't go to such a place, but at the same time the local Fire Marshall wouldn't allow it. It's one thing to sit in a booth or on a stool and pray, say grace, think about the hottie nearby, respect the effort that was given to prepare the food for you. It's a whole different thing to take up space that would impede potential evacuation were there an emergency.
Of course one person for a moment wouldn't be a problem, but as you say a packed place all doing that for 40 minutes, that's just asking for problems not to mention I can't think of a single restaurant I've ever been to that would have enough floor space for even half of the potential occupants to be able to spread out on the floor regardless of why.
Your argument is devoid of any logical thought other than attempting to bait people into saying something that you could then leap at for being anti muslim.
Devoid of logical thought? Are you serious? The issue here is simple. This restaurant was giving discounts for prayer.
Who defines prayer? YOU? This restaurant? The Waitresses?
My point is very logical, people on this thread have said there is nothing wrong with prayer, by you believe, that a muslim prayer would be in some way a violation of a fire code, and my point is, that if ANY prayer is encouraged, then what about muslims?
Do you think they just bow their heads in silent prayer?
They have a routine, a routine that would involved leaving their seats and moving to the floor. Their prayers are lengthy, and if this restaurant and the dummies on this thread believe ANY prayer is welcomed, then they have to include prayer rugs and clogged isles.
Regardless, the law is the law, and this restaurant now knows it faces serious legal action if they didnt stop the practice.
FOX news made it difficult for this restaurant by trying to promote the practice and calling it "REFRESHING".
It is never "refreshing" to discriminate, however, you may feel differently.
