Where is the story? I was led to believe this was from a few days ago and they were praying in commemoration of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

What's funny is if they'd have been there in the stands hands clasped together praying for our Lord the zombie Jesus to a help them score they'd be held up as true fans.

No they just nipped into the stair well to say their daily prayers at half time and some my pet took a picture and stuck it on twitter calling them a disgrace.

The main response from people has been to call this idiot out on being a bigot and not really fussed about the guy and his son quietly saying their prayers our of the way at half time.

So since when were Muslims not allowed to watch football?

They may have been praying because of their faith or considering this was hillsborough memorial week it may well have been that too.... Either way, does it matter to you? Lol

They said it was because they would have missed the windows to say the prayer if they waited till after the match so just went at half time.

My mistake, the story just happened to hit the Torygraph on the same day as the Hillsborough anniversary, so I just assumed it was linked.

Just out of interest, what was the half time score, and did they win?

As the need to pray comes around 5 times a day it's not likely that all Muslims will avoid doing anything at all as it will clash with praying.

How often are Christians commanded to pray? The good Nuns of the church I know have seven prayers a day:

Office of Readings

Morning Prayer

Mid-morning prayer

Mid-day prayer

Mid-afternoon prayer

Evening prayer

Night Prayer

They still manage to get out and do their community work.

The ordained Buddhists I know do four times a day and still manage to do others things too.

As a human we all fall for our desires just like Adam....difference is Adam asked for forgiveness to the Most merciful.....hence why muslims follow Allah...you seriously think a human can be good 100% of the time?

It's not even humanity, I dont see how or why anyone with half a brain cell would have an issued with 2 guys quietly doing their thing. It's not like they stomped into the middle of the pitch and rolled out the mats in the middle of the second half!

As far as I know it was taken at the Blackburn match last Monday, it had already gone viral before the Hillsborough memorial service. The question is... what is the problem with people following the rules of their faith, we live in a multicultural society and this extends to and is accepted by football fans the length and breadth of the country (unless you occasionally happen to use the Paris metro...... oops me bad)

Would have no problem with anyone wished to pray at start half time or and end of match unless it stopped me getting my beer.

Have no problem with any religion and I will respect their choice as long as they respect mine and don't tell me what I can do or not do.

End of the day they paid their money so as long as its not breaking any club rules they can do what they want.

Plenty go to matches and fall asleep ....... and there are plenty that go to matches and dream full stop.

There has been a prayer area for Muslims in the main stand at Upton Park for a few seasons now. Sometimes you get yobs trying to obstruct the prayers but they carry on regardless.

Also the community project at West Ham often distribute free or subsidised tickets to the local mosques to try and get the locals to come and support the team. Tickets are given to the local Christian schools as well. This from a club that it owned by two Jewish gentlemen. They believe in getting the local community involved in the club, and as many of the locals are Muslim they are very welcome at the club.

I notice you've been very quiet since starting this thread, care to share your views? Or just lighting the blue touch paper and standing well back?!

Why shouldn't Muslims go to matches be allowed to pray as long as it's out if the way of people? I don't mean it shouldn't be viewed by others, just not in the middle of a gang way.

Are you saying Muslims should not pray at all or that they should not have social lives? Prayer times happen during the working day, should Muslims not be allowed to.pray if they work or should they not work of they wish to pray, after all it could impact on your day....not really sure how but I'm sure some would say it does.

Let them be, it's not like they were trying to radicalise anyone by doing it.

My issue how the hell did they get a prayer mat in to anfield and obstructing a stairwell (health and safety)

At my ground pretty much nothing is allowed in to the ground iPads and bottle of pop being one of them.

How I would feel if I saw to Muslim guys praying at ot. I would be respectful at the time but I would write to the club to enquire about it. The stewards may have said it is ok, but what about those people that may have been offended by seeing it.

I have no problem with a multi faith room, and my organisation has one. What I have an issue about is surly the guys knew it was prayer time. What's more important prayers or football.

The people that may of been offended by it?? Why would anyone be offended by it? I've seen people sat in Costa reading the bible would that be offensive? No.. They aren't in anyone's way. They asked, the stewards said it was fine, they weren't obstructing anything. They caused no problem to anyone at all. Most people wouldn't even of been aware of it until the guy posted the picture.

Religion, Politics and Football are one mighty huge powder keg.

Unfortunately since football began up here it and religion go hand in hand and is the cause of many a murder in the city's streets on derby day.

I don't even mean Christian/Islam/Judea or whatever religions either. I mean the simple difference of being a Protestant or a Catholic in this City can be the difference of life and death on derby day

I am a practicing Buddhist and meditate 3 times per day none of which clash with a 3pm kick off and do not at any given time let life or mindless bigots stop me.

Life is for living not for getting caught up in mindless bickering and fighting over my God is better than yours or my suntan is darker than yours.

We have a saying North of the Border "We are aw Jock Tamsons Bairns" ie we are all fundamentally the same children under the sky regardless of colour, creed or religion

Heathen you should be burnt at the stake Tommy ketchup all the way!!!

Seriously though I don't care what religion you are or how strict. I'm an atheist who has taken the time to learn at least something about other religions. I follow the wiccan mantra of do on to others as you'd wish done to yourself. I think the situation with Muslims is akin to the paranoia in the 50's-60's that America had towards communism.

The sooner the 3 big religion realise the all follow the same God just different teachings the sooner perhaps we can on get on together.

One more thing Fab would be pretty empty if everyone stuck to their faiths so no reason to call out an individual because of theirs.

"My issue how the hell did they get a prayer mat in to anfield and obstructing a stairwell (health and safety)

At my ground pretty much nothing is allowed in to the ground iPads and bottle of pop being one of them.

I have no problem with a multi faith room, and my organisation has one. What I have an issue about is surly the guys knew it was prayer time. What's more important prayers or football.

What possible health and safety issues does a prayer mat cause?! It can be unrolled for searching prior to entry into the ground and is hardly going to cause much damage to anyone is it. Typical 'think about the children!!!' response!

IPads....why the fuck would anyone want to take one of those to a football ground? The risk of it getting stolen or broken is quite high. Bottles of pop are sold on site so I'd guess that explains part of why they aren't allowed. The other being the delightful 'fans' that fill the empty bottles with piss and throw them about or use the bottle tops as missiles to throw and the players...how they claim to be a fan of the game I will never understand.

Would you be offended by a Catholic using rosary beads in the stands to pray? By Christians clasping their hands with beads bowed in prayer? What is it that is so offensive about Muslims saying prayer that you would feel the need to write to the club?

"Try living in Glasgow

Religion, Politics and Football are one mighty huge powder keg.

Unfortunately since football began up here it and religion go hand in hand and is the cause of many a murder in the city's streets on derby day.

I am a practicing Buddhist and meditate 3 times per day none of which clash with a 3pm kick off and do not at any given time let life or mindless bigots stop me.

Life is for living not for getting caught up in mindless bickering and fighting over my God is better than yours or my suntan is darker than yours.

We have a saying North of the Border "We are aw Jock Tamsons Bairns" ie we are all fundamentally the same children under the sky regardless of colour, creed or religion

Life is hard enough without bickering about two guys giving thanks to Allah at a football match "

Aww my ex mother in law says that saying about Jock Tamson.

Who really cares about people praying. I couldn't care less. More important things in the world to worry about.

Someone praying would probably be the LEAST offensive thing you could see at a football match up here. I'm a whole lot more offended by Mike Ashley's face.

Really, who gives a fuck? It's not like the whole match was suspended until they'd finished.
