That's true enough Frank. For most religions a brief and private communication is enough, and hardly if at all noticeable to bystanders. But it's pretty hard for muslims to sneak in a quickie to allah - they've got that whole rug thing going on and that 5 times a day thing and that foot washing thing and that on-and-on Hallmark card of a prayer - it's a mess. But we have seen where provisions have been made by some airports and schools to accommodate them, as hiding in a closet for a few minutes just won't cut it. So just make it the same for everybody - no religions of any type in the public place. The funny part is, only the muslims will be hamstrung by this since everyone else can pray in a very non-physical, non-noticeable way. It'll kind of be like doing the naughty in a public place with the thrill of possible discovery without actually being caught.<br> You wouldn't want muslims to get preferential treatment just because they have this "study group" mentality when it comes to prayer, would you?
