I won't do any takfeer, I just wanna ask, isn't it?????
Seriously, why put yourself in that situation to begin with?
As a way for peaceful protest.
The Whitehouse is in the background isn't it? Not the direction of prayer.
More concern with praying towards a Starbucks cup but that's also to allow for space to pray.
In an ideal world there would be more tolerance from bystanders..
But I suppose if things were different we would be just as intolerant?
Hard sell.
