Ridiculous decision by the AFL.
What next the Adhan over the loud speakers instead of the final siren?
Or umpires not only waiting for channel seven to flash it's lights after commercial breaks we must change the 1/2 time breaks to coincide with mid afternoon prayer?
Or designated women only areas at the ground on the top deck completely out of sight and earshot of any men?
...... Actually this ones not a bad idea.
Seriously though I don't like this decision at all & it's just another example of how this country is changing.
You're opposing a decision to have a room for prayers? It's a room, completely out of your way, that has nothing to do with you. Why does it matter to you?
This is simply pandering to the minority Islamic community as many local governments have done with stupid decisions that aren't inclusive but are highly divisive.
You notice how the article written includes that women have an enclosed area? What does that mean?
There are many questions i'd like answered.
If there is a Christian or buddhist or Hindu in that room, will any Muslim still be allowed to pray or have they only allowed to be in the room alone to pray with other Muslims?
If a person is a women will she be kicked out to accommodate the Muslim men?
If I have my shoes on in that room will I be asked to remove my shoes?
It's BS!!! In my opinion.
