Question

'Praying very loud'
In a statement to police, a US Airways gate agent wrote that three of the men prayed in Arabic at the gate. "I was suspicious by the way they were praying very loud," the gate agent said.
Said Shahin: "We were never bothering anyone, not saying anything loudly. We were just prostrating ourselves, the normal way we pray."

Answer 1

Arrested for PRAYING? I don't get it.....?

Answer 2

The problem is that from ancient to recent history the enemies of democracy have gone about "testing" what they could get away with and getting people inurred to "unusual" activities.
Adolph Hilter avocated this type of activity, "using the freedom of free nations against them" to destroy us....as did Stalin and the whole Communistic agenda.

I don't believe for a moment that this was " a sweet relgious group using the freedom of relgion". It was too organized and planned.

They WANTED a problem so that people would BE AFRAID and learn to respect their Shiria Law.....which they believe MUST dominate all laws of all nations.

Answer 3

Matthew 6:6 5 “Also, when YOU pray, YOU must not be as the hypocrites; because they like to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the broad ways to be visible to men. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full. 6 You, however, when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you.

what were they called?

Answer 4

Playing on our fears. If you are out in the public and say a prayer you do it silently you do not make a scene. So I defiantly thing they were doing it for show to see what kind of reaction they would get.
