This is why the U.S. needs to search mosques without notice for weapons and seditious material.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Vote! Vote! Vote!

Yeah, in the context of whenever these issues such as mohammedan prayers in the streets & blocking traffic goes, I have heard it said that such activities are illegal in Saudi Arabia, of all places. Not just Saudi, but even other mohammedan countries don’t allow it. Here are just some examples that I pulled from Venice AI:
Saudi Arabia
Public street prayer is illegal and considered socially unacceptable. Saudi Arabia has strict public decency laws, and praying in streets or blocking pedestrian/vehicle traffic is prohibited. The expectation is that Muslims pray in mosques. The country even fines people for playing music during prayer times (1,000 SAR for first offense, 2,000 SAR for repeat violations), and shops are required to close during prayer times. The religious police (CPVPV) enforce public morality standards, and blocking public thoroughfares for prayer would violate public order laws
Turkey
Turkey is constitutionally secular, and while Islam is the dominant religion, public prayer in streets falls under general public assembly laws rather than religious freedom protections. The country has a Law on Meetings and Demonstrations that requires authorization for public gatherings. While there isn’t a specific law targeting street prayer, any gathering that blocks traffic or creates public disturbance can be dispersed. The Diyanet (Presidency of Religious Affairs) manages over 89,000 mosques, and the expectation is that prayer happens in designated religious spaces.
Pakistan
Pakistan has complex regulations. While Islamic jurisprudence allows exceptions for Friday prayers or Eid prayers in streets if mosques are full, general prayer in public thoroughfares that obstructs traffic is problematic. The country has Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code that can prohibit public gatherings, and blocking roads for prayer could violate public nuisance laws. However, enforcement varies significantly by region and context.
Qatar
Muslims cannot legally pray on the streets in Qatar if it restricts traffic or blocks public thoroughfares. Qatar has Law No. 18 of 2004 on Public Meetings and Demonstrations, which requires all public gatherings to obtain a license from authorities. Additionally, Qatar’s Traffic Law No. 19 of 2007 penalizes blocking roads or causing danger to property and people by leaving objects or obstructing traffic (fine of QR 500 for such violations).
islamic republic
Similar to Saudi Arabia, praying in streets in a manner that blocks others is illegal and considered disruptive. Iran has strict public order laws, and while the government promotes Islamic observance, public prayer is expected to occur in mosques or designated spaces. The constitution permits public gatherings only if they “do not contravene Islamic principles” and maintain public order.
Malaysia
Malaysia has some of the strictest regulations. Under the Police Act and Public Order laws, gatherings of more than 10 people require police permission. Individual states have additional Shariah regulations—Terengganu state recently announced that Muslim men who miss Friday prayers can face up to 6 months in prison or fines up to 3,000 ringgit. While this enforces mosque attendance, it also implies that unauthorized public prayer gatherings in streets would violate both general assembly laws and religious compliance requirements.
These are the most Durqha countries I can imagine. I doubt that other muslim countries will be more tolerant towards namaz in the streets than the above list of countries

Thanks for that list and info, Infidel.
It makes sense, since muzzies only take over streets because they haven’t yet, taken over the country.
they are taking full advantage of the freedoms and abusing them, in order to make life more difficult for all others. They don’t seek to make their muzzie masters angry, so they behave in ways that they throw aside in non-muzzie nations.

Somehistory
True. But governments in infidel countries should, when confronting islamic leaders in their countries, cite these laws and make it plain that such laws emphatically demonstrate that street blockages are not a necessary part to islam, and therefore, attempts to do that here (wherever “here” is) will not be tolerated

Please read “1000+ Mistakes in the Quran”. It lists 1776(!) errors in the Quran. No god makes 1776 errors in his textbook = the many errors prove the Quran is not from a god, but is made up and fake. A fact: As the Quran provably is fake, no Muslim will end in a Paradise. Pity them.
