Default You Can't Do THAT!!?? ..... Can You??

Coming home from the beach 1/2 an hour ago - M3 Northbound - what did I see??

A Muslim bending over behind his van on the hard shoulder praying!!

Now, either he is calling some divine help to fix his MAF Sensor or he is praying to Mecca!!

My guess is that he just decided it was time to pray and stopped!!

In the same way a Siekh can ride a motorbike with the only protection for his head ..... a Turban! Can someone pray to Mecca on the Hardshoulder??

Perhaps he was praying for his mate on the motorbike that he'd just run over, knowing full well he was only wearing a turban?

Are you sure he was not just some eeejit carpet fitter that got the wrong address. I can imagine that it would take some time to carpet the hard shoulder.

Perhaps you should go back and see if he is still at it?

Perhaps his Turban Charger had broken and he was praying to his Meccanic to fix it for him...

Knowing Píssy though it was probably just a well tanned bloke who had stopped for a pee and dropped his contact lense and he was kneeling down looking for it.

yes ub if theirs no place to worship u can worship anywhere clean, hard shoulder on your prayer mat, car even if u wanna make it short and someones shop etc etc

if u truly believe and read your prayers 5 times a day, its hurdles to stop u doing evil if u really put your mind into it, it cleanses your heart and reminds u who u are and ask for forgivness and repent and to do good

if u read your prayers 5 times a day will stop u commit adultery or out of sex marriage, drinking and drugs and hurting anyone


lets say i have an arguement with the wife and then soon after its gonna be prayer time, i will feel so guilty to pray when i just had an arguement etc and will say sorry to the wife and then read prayers etc

see what i mean

You seem to win it all the time.

Pray for fairness next time.

I did see a guy in San Francisco airport terminal doing this (for about half an hour). I thought he would be picked up by airport security, but nothing happened.

However, to stop on a motorway hard shoulder for any reason other than an emergency is against the law of the land. So how do you square that circle?

pslewis - what direction was the chap pointing?

For those that 'have' to pray 5 times a day etc. do they have to commit a mercy rape or killing etc. if they forget or miss prayer number 5 of the day

Anyway, muslims praying on the hard shoulder has to be up there with the christian footballers doing the cross on their chest before that crucial penalty. I wonder if the opposition goalie did the same then this 'god' would be up there going 'ahhh, they've both given me their symbolism of faith, do I let the goal in or not?' ahh, what a moral dilemna

Maybe if you were weak minded enough to believe that you would be weak minded enough to commit the above sins in the first place....


I wonder how many times a day the London bombers prayed.....

I suppose that since it is not mentioned in the Road Traffic Act that he will do it until someone stops him! That is if it really happened of course, PSL will try anything to get a thread going.

I would imagine that since the bombers were obviously obsessed they would have spent all the required times praying so not much to be made out of that!

Quite a few fundamentalists on this thread by the looks of it

Maybe he was praying for a big win from Mecca to pay for a new MAF sensor?
