Prayer Rooms at all AFL Venues

[Dirko]

There's been a prayer room at the G since 2008, can't recall anyone complaining about that....

[Booney]

I hope to see some Muslims at worship in one corner and a swinging African American congregation letting fly with some tunes in another...

[Psyber]

The prayer rooms are multi-denominational.

Are they?
I'd wondered if there may be some incompatibilities in requirements that may make multiple rooms necessary.
Mind you - who stops watching the game to pray at the football and is actually going to be at the football?
(And will prayer breaks during matches ever become a requirement? )

Picture it now at footy park on SANFL grand final day.

Multi denominational? Which other religion would need to use the room besides Islamic?

[Dog_ger]

We need prayer rooms at Prospect.
Could double as a room to host AA functions.

Could you build a room big enough to cater for all us AA'ers....

You would have to roof the oval.....

How good would that be...

They can have their prayer room if they compromise and let us drink booze at the 2018 World Cup in Qatar. Its a 2 way street

Sounds like a good swap to me.

That's what I was saying - discreetly...

I'm not as PC as yourself Psyber.

You can drink in Qatar. The World Cup will not be a alcohol free event.

We should open prayer rooms at the football when the rest of us are allowed to kick a footy around inside a mosque.
I think that's fair.

And in our footy boots, not barefoot or in socks only as they usually require.

[Q.]

Generally, you wouldn't be allowed in a mosque anyway if you aren't Muslim, although I was shown through one once outside of prayer time.

I went through a couple in India recently and one in Kuala Lumpur some years ago, outside prayer time with a tour group.
They just require you to behave respectfully and leave your shoes outside.

KL was in the early 1990s, where I was welcomed by a bearded gentlemen in a flack jacket with "Welcome, welcome, Allah is for all."
Then we posed together for photos, both sporting full beards because I'd just come or of the Borneo jungle, with his arm around my shoulder and me holding his AK47...

(If the CIA are reading this site, I submit it was well before 9/11 and seemed just to be amusing at the time... )
