Espresso Lahore protest

Exactly…prayer is mandatory. And I want to make sure that I have a comfortable place to offer my prayers in peace, not some dingy corner underneath the stairs of a cafe. To me, it seems like the responsible thing to do would be to make sure that the establishment has suitable areangemrnts, so that I’m not caught off guard when I get there.

But that would make too much sense, wouldn’t it?

None of us here this forum were there to witness what happened. We don’t know what the attitude or reactions were for either party involved. The waiter was most likely wrong in dismissing this lady’s request, as a patron of the restaraunt, accommodations should have been made. On the flip side, something tells me she was most likely not very docile herself. She very well could have gone postal on the poor waiter, creating a scene in true desi aunty eshtyle.

Moral of the story: due diligence is paramount. And more importantly, it’s Ramadan…a little compassion and mutual respect on both parts would go a long way.

Khatti - those who don’t like to pray in a dingy corner or under stairs need not go to the Espresso. And as I stated to CM the poor the homeless etc don’t have the luxury to choose where to pray. I have no doubt they would. Consider an Espresso shop spacious and plenty private for prayer.

Those who have God in their heart will not be so petty a the lady ( if she demanded better prayer space).
