LONDON (VINnews) — A Muslim man was verbally abused as he recited the Quran on a London train. A clip taken by the Muslim shows a man sitting opposite him who berates him for performing his prayers publicly and claims that he is ‘invading other people’s space’ and demanded that he should ask permission from others before praying.

The incident occurred at 6:40 AM on a train travelling near the Monument station in central London
The man added that no other religious person would say prayers without asking permission and claimed that the “noise” of the prayer was objectionable since “this is a Christian country” and therefore “you behave in our manner and in the way we do things.”

Muslim reprimanded for reading Quran
Sorry no sympathy from me I read the Quran full of hate towards Jews
This is a one-sided, lopsided story. Without seeing and hearing the other side, what actually happened and how loud he recited his prayers, we can’t judge.
No Muslim or Black men have any right to feel fear or discrimination as we often do, because, you know, well, they’re not us. NEVER use our experience as a minority to empathize with another minority
Imagine the outcry from VIN readers if the man had complained about a person learning gomora on the train or a woman davening on a train.
The Moslem could not have been as loud and disruptive as the complainer.
this is considered Islamophobia.
If a Yid was shusshed for dovening on a train in a ‘christian country’ there would be outrage. Gevalt.
