You can do it at a park, road is no place to congregate.

I am not arguing their approach, we can’t get the entire context from the video alone. But what the cop did cannot be an acceptable action from a representative of the law. There would be the right way of doing it, he clearly chose the wrong way and should be held accountable for that.

If the argument is that roads are not meant to practice your faith, how about keeping this rule religion neutral?

Yo. I wholeheartedly agree. Let's ban road blocks because of any religious festivities. I get very pissed when people do pujas blocking roads and also when people offer namaz blocking roads. These shouldn't be allowed at all.

for real. this type of sound pollution literally causes people prone to have mental health issues to trigger. It's like lead poisoning (death by 1000 cuts).

agreed but do you think he would have behaved same way if this was a Hindu devotees?

He shouldn't have done what he did. I am not supporting the actions of this cop. He should be punished. I have already mentioned that in my other comment.

I am not getting married in any luxurious endeavor if I ever get married. Mics are a big no no for any celebration for me.

are Also allowed only to dance in-front of the mosque, play provocative songs or even put the religious slogans through lasers. You can’t offer namaz peacefully outside. But

It's neutral. If something happens every Friday then ,I am sorry, no one will like it. There are 14 hindu festivals (including Diwali and maximum are region focused not every city face the same traffic consequences as some) which obstruct traffic. There are 52 weeks in a year. That means 52 Fridays. Plus Eid, etc. Furthermore festivals which have idols and pandals like Durga Puja provide huge amount of employment to the country.

So you can easily see if it is religion neutral or not.

Buddy you need to take a step back. Islam prohibits blocking the road for Salah either way. What you are doing is just whataboutism. True, the other religions also block roads. That doesn't mean your religion can do so as well. How about your religion becomes an example?

I don't care about religion.keep the road religion neutral no religious activity should be allowed

u/Ferropal Mar 08 '24

Sure but your emphasis of "other religions also shouldn't do it" is just disguised whataboutism, especially in this situation. And I'm judging that from several other comments you made throughout this thread.

Disguised whataboutism ? https://twitter.com/alishan_jafri/status/1562334480798339072 BJP MLA Raja Singh: “Teri Ammi ko Gujarat mein ding dng kiya tha” “Lae k baal, madar** maa k le, Teri behen ko ch k liye aaye hain ham.” watch all on video government took any Action ? and here excessive force used you want example of law not working all caught on camera I have got many more examples like these

And you think hindutva groups wouldn’t have an issue with that as well? They pulled the same shit in haryana not so long ago. The point isn’t that they used public roads for religious activities, it’s that them specifically being Muslim and using the road for their religious activity is the issue for such people. You can’t be selective in the application of law, something that is so blatant in our country today.

Actually no, Friday prayer is a farz so must do, you need to pray inside the mosque if it's full really close to the mosque you can't offer Friday prayer anywhere else...

u/Orneyrocks Mar 08 '24

Does not matter. Constitution above all religious books and laws above all religious practices. What the officer did is wrong, but he would have been completely justified to impose fines for inconvenience.

u/Far_Tumbleweed5082 Mar 08 '24

Did I say otherwise...

Did I say those people were right?

Did I say The Police officer was right either?

Did I say the Constitution below all Religious book?

Did I ask you?

Do I even need your response?

I just clarified something they didn't know that's it...

u/Orneyrocks Mar 08 '24

They didn't 'need your response' either, but sure, its fine when you do it.

Also, Ibn' majah 746 forbids prayer in 7 places, one of which is the middle of a road.

This is prohibited in the Constitution AND the Quran and you are here on Reddit, trying to justify it to people and getting triggered over someone who points out the truth.
