What! Two rakahs! And jumu'ah khutbah too!
Allah knows how much revenue they must believe they have to sacrifice due to impatient and fidgety tourists returning home angrily complaining to other would be tourists about these loony islamists who want to pray in the mosque, but then again, if they banned the prayer altogether, they couldn't call it a mosque, then they might lose more tourists since it'd be a boring desolate limed sepulchre.
And trying to shorten the prayer units might appease the tourists but those uncompromising islamists would go ballistic, and they know that wouldn't bode well for tourism at all, quite a difficult puzzle.....
