Re: Espresso Lahore protest

Who'd you choose as a lifepartner, A or B?

Two sides to a coin. That story doesn’t give too much details about what went down. A waiter denied a customer a place to pray. Was there more to it? Could she have taken it up with management before becoming "irate’? Could she have called the restaurant before hand to find out if they do offer a pace to pray? And if there was space wouldn’t they have given it to her? Is it a restaurant’s responsibility to have a prayer room? Just things to think about as well. I agree, though, that both side are blowing this way out of proportion.

And not too sure about the whole “liberal agenda”. Yes, one part (less than 1%) has probably gotten more liberal over the years, but in general with the rise in powers of mullahs, the boom of all the people coming out from the hard core madrisahs built in the 80’s , and the increase in the mass killing of minorities, I would hardly say that things are getting more liberal over there.

Why should she ask for a place for prayer beforehand, in a muslim country at the time of Iftaar?

Was she going to a nightclub or something like a booze party?

By the way how much place a woman needs for prayer anyway. Its not she would have asked for a huge space.

I think it should be made mandatory for every restaurant to have such place available in Pakistan.

And for other poster, what is so awkward in praying in the corner of a restaurant?

All Iftar dinners hosts do make sure there is a place for praying for guests.

Those who feel not going to Iftar dinners can stay home with family though.
