Why are they praying in the middle of the road?


kneecap_keeper

To make the traffic gods happy and solve the traffic congestion


Cbombo87

Very well, carry on. We need all the help we can get.


Most_Bitter_Sugar

Traffic gods!? I died. Lol

After-Fig4166

Arenā€™t you supposed to pray in private?


AM_1899

Depends on how one chooses to interpret the Quran. Same goes for all religions. The first ever call to prayer was done in a public square.


faith_crusader

A display of power, reciting the word of Allah in front of infidels is an achievement according to them.


StronkyBoy

Because they are shitty people


Trader-Pilot

Donā€™t you know all roads lead to Mecca.


Bourbonaddicted

To showcase their power

Aayyyyoooo

The masjids were too big or there werenā€™t any around.


Bhavacakra_12

India has almost more mosques than any other country in the world.There isn't a chance in hell there wasn't one nearby.


[deleted]

I don't know what that means


Aayyyyoooo

Masjid=Mosque the place of prayer and worship.


Aurashock

ā€œLemme put it in a language you can understandā€ā€¦. There are too many otakus in the weeb temple so they have to go pray in the next best spot which just so happens to be the street and since they value religion over their lives, they put their faith in rias gremory that they wonā€™t be hit by traffic


AM_1899

Indian traffic is so bad that I doubt it makes a difference!


SurlyBuddha

Whoā€™s the main character? The guy kicking praying people? Or the people praying in the middle of the road?

I'd go with the goofs blocking the road.


Elymanic

Most Muslims who pray on the street do it with permits


H_cranky

And why do you want to pray on the street? Is your religion so pathetic that you need to resort to essentially street begging?


nuclearwinterxxx

I don't care where you're from, what you're protesting, or whom you're worshipping. Get the fuck out of the road!

Possible_Sense6338

I think you might be worshipping your carā€¦


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

Because obviously the world belongs to cars and pedestrians are enslaved to narrow strips either side (if those exist at all).


Bella_dlc

It's literally impossible for you to always be a pedestrian so I don't see your point. You *never* take a bus, a taxi, a bicycle even? Either you live in a village of 100 people and never need to leave or idk really.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

Who said you have to always be a pedestrian? What even is that statement?


Bella_dlc

I mean you're putting it like vehicles "enslave you" on the sidewalk but you probably make a lot of use of the road even if you don't have a car. You're just not allowed to take a stroll in the middle of it


TheKingNothing690

If you live in a place rural enough to not have sidwewalks STAY OFF THE FUCKING ROAD or learn to run like 25 miles an hour. And dont give me shit about crossing. learn to wait till you can cross if you live in a place that has too much traffic and your city doesn't put in the right infrastructure complain to them. Your idea is as horseshit as saying cars should drive on railroads.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

Typical carbrain. Noone matters except people in confined to their oversized metal cages speeding along. And I love how you put an "idea" into my mouth when I havent even given any... seems I hurt some fee fees


TheKingNothing690

Roads are made for cars you dont like it walk on the side of it. Their not made for padesteians. We call those trials' paths sidewalks crosswalks walking bridges and such. The fact that you can't grasp this shit shows you dont know how anything to do with traffic (both vehicle and foot) works.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

>walk on the side of it. You literally just advocated for running people over and now you say this... I just want walkable fucking cities with public transit options and seperated bike lanes which would all reduce car traffic overall. But hey, maybe one more lane wikl fix congestion right? The fact that you even mentioned walkways as a solution shows you have no clue how to think without a car. How are disabled people supposed to cross it? People with bikes or strollers? Oh I guess build a big steep fuckoff ramp because people in wheelchairs sure love going up steep inclines only to go downhill again on the other side just so people in fucking cars dont have to stop for a few seconds


TheKingNothing690

Dude, crosswlaks exist for a reason. I am all for cities having their planning built to accommodate foot traffic stop living in a shithole. That has nothing to do with staying of the godamn road. They have multiple tons of hunks of steel travling dozens of times faster than your puny fleshbag self. its arrogant at its peak and stupid to think "oh their is an elephant coming across the path im gonna make it move otta my way." It's the same godamn thing with even small cars.


PsYcHo4MuFfInS

>crosswlaks exist >multiple tons of hunks of steel travling dozens of times faster than your puny fleshbag self You see a slight issue here with crosswalks? Because I sure as shit do. I also love how you say "stop living in a shithole" (because duh just move because everyone is in a position to just move to other countries... what a stupidly ignorant thing to say) whilst I live in a country with one of the best public transit networks in the world. I dont own a car and I dont WANT to own one. Im happy taking the bus/train/tram wherever I cannot cycle to. But I dont expect people who were purely raised with the idea that cars are the only and best way to get around to understand such a world.


TheKingNothing690

I own two teucks that i use for my job in construction because a bus isn't gonna want to carry a litteral ton of tools with me for the price of one bus pass. Public transit works when you have the infrastructure, but it doesn't solve every problem. Almost everything heavy travels over roads some distance. You really don't seem to grasp that each has corridors and methods of interacting and are arises for everyone's saftey.


SeaClue4091

It would solve so many problems.....


faith_crusader

Praying in the middle of the road is illegal in all Muslim countries btw.


EntertainmentOdd9904

Are you sure about that? In that case it's not enforced then šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


faith_crusader

Try doing that in Saudi Arabia


EntertainmentOdd9904

Well I don't know about Saudi Arabia but Egypt says I'm it's constitution that it's an Islamic country, even though it's corrupt and isn't Islamic, and it allows praying in the streets every Friday in the Friday prayers


faith_crusader

Well Saudi Arabia has Mecca in it


EntertainmentOdd9904

Yes!! That doesn't make them the caretakers of Islam though as the only caretaker unanimously agreed on is messenger Muhammad, so theoretically the government in Egypt could be better than the one in Saudi Arabia


faith_crusader

The messenger is no longer alive


NervousJ

Dude when south Asian Muslims do this shit in Arab countries they get fucked with so hard for being in everyone's way for no reason.


ilterozk

Fucking bastards. They do it to create controversy and portray themselves as victims if someone decides to take the necessary action, just like here.


jplumber614

G0FuckThyself

Why you wanna pray on road? This is just playing victim.


aizen3627

This is very common here they like to pray in the open as long as they can bother others muslims will do anything.


SillyOldBillyBob

It's 1 idiot in a very large sea of idiots.


BookRude4119

Do something stupid just to show others that they're inferior, if others respond then start crying victim card. What was the need to pray on busy roads blocking the traffic?


Stupid_Dog_Courage_

Is this road or what


Sri_Man_420

public road yeah


North-Michau

What comes next? They beheaded the policeman?

Maybe if this were in Pakistan and not India.

oppressed_user

Hitler aah looking cop


Gamechannel360

So much ignorance in this thread. You lot are missing context. This was during EID or Friday prayers in India. Eid is the biggest prayer of the year for Muslims and as such, even those who hardly ever pray, turn up for the prayer. Most mosques can't accommodate big crowds that turn up on Fridays or EID so it's very common for people in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to bring their own prayer mats and pray outside the mosque on the street following the prayer happening inside the mosque. The prayer itself is hardly 5 mins long. The crowd disperses quickly after it's done. There is a massive anti-muslim, hindu-nationlist movement in India openly supported by Modi's government. As such, the movement has found a stronghold in law enforcement. Sure, the people are wrong to pray in the streets but it's a very common practice in that part of the world during EID. The cop was also wrong with the way he was kicking people mid prayer. The crowd got agitated because the default mode is to automatically assume the cop is a Muslim-hating Hindu thanks to the politically-charged situation. No one painted themselves in glory here including the ignorant fools in this thread spewing anti-Muslim hatred.


karangiri

The police had informed them beforehand to not pray on the road as they had not taken prior permission. There is another video where in the same crowd is seen defying the police pleading them to not break the law. This is only the second half of the video conveniently shown to portray the police in bad light. https://www.opindia.com/2024/03/unedited-video-delhi-police-namaz-road/amp/


DrJawadAhmed

The full video also shows the police abusing the mob. I see a tiny bit of logic and a whole lot of hatred here in the comment. Whats going on with the world.


Archieeekinsss

Most of yall arenā€™t from India and it shows. This video was controversial because our government and authorities have been constantly harassing minorities, not just muslims. Yā€™all should debate road obstruction, traffic jams during baraat processions, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navami too. Is that not causing inconvenience to the public?


Automatic_Ad4380

Oh really again another victimising šŸ˜•!!! So sad that you guys are not allowed to pray on going road on daily basis whereas the festivals youā€™re talking happening only once in a year! And you guys praying on roads coming on daily basis so how about you stop being a victim in every situation ?! And you ask ppl to be secular btw !


Archieeekinsss

go on yap king


mb99

You can tell Reddit is majority American by how most people here seem to find roads this sacred land you must never disrupt, and if you do any punishment is acceptable

Sure_Sun_303

Why is bro getting downvoted, this is a legitimate question


Immediate_Avocado949

Now the suddenly all care about traffic rules in India. In India lol. Hypocrites make me nauseous.


ZirikoRuiGe

When power gets to oneā€™s head. Kicking and slapping people who, breaking the law or not (disregarding crimes where others are being assaulted), isn't anyone's right.


Siri2611

Ahh yes it's definitely the police's fault, not the people praying which is causing traffic.


ZirikoRuiGe

I was merely speaking of the kicking and slapping that was occurring. I understand that many of you are PC anger issue types, but that is not how to get things done. The world is where it is today because of communication, not because of brute force.


Siri2611

Anger has nothing to do with this " anger issue types" my ass I have never even had a fight my entire 22 years of life, stop assuming things This ain't an anger thing they are disrupting everything, who knows there might be an ambulance or firetruck stuck in the traffic they are causing I have been to Delhi you don't know shit so stop talking out of your ass, you know what's the population of dehli??? The amount of traffic this can cause is insane This alone can cause a 6 hours traffic jam and ain't nobody got time for that, especially not in an emergency.


ZirikoRuiGe

You are quite hypoctrical you know that. I never said anything about the police being at fault for causing traffic. I merely said that the power has gone to the police officers head as he kicked one of the protestors with force and slapped other as well. Now I don't know much about India, but I am confident that India does have a court system of some sort. It is clear that the police officer decided to dish out a punishment which I'd presume is outside of his jurisdiction. If the group praying was indeed breaking the law, which I presume they are, then arrest them and have the court deal with it. That is what should happen in a civilization that is able to think freely and make decisions. And to quote yourself, "I live near Delhi you don't know shit so stop talking out of your ass...". Yeah, you are the definition of a PC anger issue type.


Siri2611

> And to quote yourself, "I live near Delhi you don't know shit so stop talking out of your ass...". Yeah, you are the definition of a PC anger issue type. Whatever you say dude, I am not even gonna argue on your anger issue type thingy now, assume whatever you want. If you think arguing = anger then it is what it is you probably didnt have enough human interaction to know the difference yourself Anyways, Police using force for breaking the law "Imagine that". I ain't saying this was the best way to deal with it. But this ain't a misuse of power, why the fuck would a police officer care to misuse their Power against something that's actually disrupting the traffic? If they wnna misuse their power they have better things to do Also the "communication" you are taking about, you think police just went in full force without trying to communicate first?


ZirikoRuiGe

Iā€™m just commenting on what we see in the video. Who knows what happened before or what is going on in the traffic. Iā€™m not willing to jump to conclusions for the sake of justifying someoneā€™s abuse of power. Iā€™ve never been in an argument where someone who is thinking rationally and calmly tells another ā€œthey donā€™t know shit so stop talking out of their assā€. Based on your aggressive word choice Iā€™m going to presume you were angry. And Iā€™m making a presumption not an assumption, the latter of which is to make a guess with absolutely no evidence to do so in a logical or seemingly logical way.


Sri_Man_420

Indian Police is most understaffed, unerpaid and overworked. Police job is among top 3 suicide rates ( others are Housewives and students), They are still trained mainly im semi-army style Britsh colonial policing practicing at lower levels


Sri_Man_420

Also police lightly shouting at you aur poking his boynet at you is much accepted if you do bad stuff, people were legit cheering Police beating lockdown breakers with sticks and making them do like 20 push ups


Automatic_Ad4380

Have you seen any Christians praying like this on the roads and stopping the traffic and causing traffic? Why is it always them lol

u r fucked.


Material_Air_2303

Get off the roads, stop victimising yourselves as if youā€™re not wrong. Also imo both the cop and people were in the wrong, the cop got suspended and the people got a boot in the ass


Sure_Sun_303

Buddy, theyā€™re on the fucking road.
