London bus stopped so the driver could pray...

Continuing the "You couldn't make it up" series........
Read today a London bus driver (muslim) made all his passengers get off his bus - so he could pray!!
He said he hadn't had time earlier, as he was running late.
My first thought was to check the date, but it's not the first yet.
I give up!

Well what a surprise at it agian


you lot are quite sad half of you are not even in the country any more but you are still hating - you will all end up really miserable why cant you just live your lives


honestly this is the same sort of stuff that was said when the blacks were invited over to help rebuild the country - oh they are dirty, they smell, they cant brush there hair and now look at half the population today quick to get undressed and try to catch the sun so they get a tan


honestly there are much more worse things happening in the world and you are concerned with a man wanting to pray.

Muslims are caring people who belive in there beliefs which is not a bad thing as they have (a real true muslim that is) patience, they are honest and would not turn a stranger away in need whether they are Christian, Catholic, jewish or Athiest, budhist etc, they are also a religion that does not laugh at its own religion unless it is smoehting funny and pictures of the prophets burnign, or whatever are not funny and this goes for all the prophets in religions such as Moses, Abraham, and Jesus, but Christians, Catholics haev no respect for the religions of the world or themselves if thye did they woudl only be concerned wiht there own lives and not others - if issues do not concern you why are you so hateful i would hate to meet some of your kids, honestly its shame as thye will haev the same hatered as you do and whether you admit to it or not its a form of prejudice the worst kind as well.

in some cases i am glad that some of you no longer live in the UK i just feel sorry for the true tenerefians out there and people of different nationalities that haev to mix with your little bigotedminds - so sad

sorry, but when I ''chose'' to live in Tenerife I was in it for what it was, part of Spain and to live by their laws and customs. I don't agree with them all but I am a guest in their country and will do as they believe to be right. This man, and no other man/woman has any right to expect Britain to change to meet their beliefs.

It is actually normal for this to happen in the Middle East.
