[–] BananaLama@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago (1 child) Peer pressure will exist regardless though. This provides as space for people to pray in private. Why not make the prayer rooms individual rooms? Would that not solve the edge case you describe? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stickly@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago There is no logic to this person's stance, they just want to do harm to the other. They wrap that in a veil of impartial rational reasoning to quell the cognitive dissonance. If this law was phrased as anti-loitering to keep homeless people off sidewalks or banning private rooms for nursing mothers they would be up in arms. It's functionally the same, but since it targets their preferred adversary they nod in approval. permalink fedilink source parent
