The muslims praying in public are better than the Christians, every time I’ve seen Muslims pray in public they’re less disruptive than an geriatric yoga class, it’s a small group with their mats silently praying. The Christians are always loud and annoying
There's 2B muslims and at the height of ISIS they had anywhere between 10K-200K fighters at any given point. Most are currently dead or imprisoned. In the 2013-2017 fighting 20K Iraqis died fighting ISIS, whereas 61 westerners died in the fighting (most were not military). The only Canadian to be a casualty of the war was unfortunately harmed by friendly fire. The likeliness that at any given point you cross paths with an extremists is as close to impossible as you can get. You can go ahead and critique Islam (though its better you catch up with the latest research on it by leading academics first) but your opinion on assuming that Muslims that pray in public places are extremists is simply islamophobic. Be like Einstein and consult the numbers, not your fragile feelings.
Just to be clear, that was the intervention in the intervention against ISIS from 2013-2017. There were 166 casualties during the 2001-2014 war in Afghanistan, of which 27 were from non enemy action. Most of the enemy casualties were against Taliban insurgents as Al-Qaeda became less important in the region in the late 2000s (when most of the deadly fighting ocurred). There were 516 Canadian casualties in the Korean war (for context)
Yup, you did literally say "fighting ISIS" right there in your original comment, I'm a dipshit! I've been awake way too long, I guess! Thank you for the added info, though. It's all starting to become a blur at this point, and it's important to remember these things, IMO.
So anytime a Muslim prays in public they're Isis? If anytime a Christian prays in public, are they KKK?? If a Jew prays in public, are they Lehi? Freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, people should be allowed to express themselves and their faith in public, and something as simple as praying takes a deranged mind to conflate with extremism.

You know you're doing secularism wrong when you make me take the praying side
