Espresso Lahore protest

Agreed its not apples to apples. This is a Muslim country with its own norms and requirements. Attributing Western values to something that is inherently alien to the entire system is worthless.

Why a separate place? Simple. Privacy. Prayer is a sacred thing and in a coffee shop or restaurant where others are eating and chatting, do you really think that is the appropriate place to show devotion to God?

CM this is about the uppity class folks demanding a special place to pray in an Espresso shop. Real estate in cities such asxLahore can be pricey. And comparing the area in a Lahore depression shop to a UK mall area is what I meant as not apples to apples comparison.

How do the poor the homeless pray? For them any space in a coffee shop is sufficient. So it is all relative.

If one is religious one makes do with what is available. Not demand that a small shop set aside special prayer area. It is a business for Gods sake. Show humility and pray where you can. That is my opinion.
