Here in Coquitlam, our parks get flooded with public prayers at noon. It makes me uncomfortable as someone who moved out of sharia law country.
Which parks exactly are being flooded with people on prayer mats?
If you tried that in Mundy, you’d likely get hit in the head with a frisbee.
Most of the other parks I know of in Coquitlam don’t have enough flat space to do such a thing, being filled as they are with trees and trails.
Tri Cities? Sure… there are also people doing yoga, going for prayer walks, sword dancing, and many other things from many cultures. But none are really flooding anywhere.
Town Centre park. Maybe it was a specific event or something, but it was happening.
So this is something that you saw once or twice ever?
Nothing wrong with public prayer, even a large gathering. I'm an atheist, and as long as no one is causing a health or safety issue, fuck it.
Well I don't feel very comfortable in a space like that personally.
Then don't be in that space?
So you feel the same when a bunch of people are meditating? Same action, really.
Lived in Coquitlam for years and I have no idea what you're talking about.
It's recent, didn't used to be a thing.
Coquitlam, British Columbia? No they don’t. That has literally never happened. Not even once.
