SR: Islamic Prayer

Knowers,


Demands for prayer rooms, public praying, prayer at certain times, and footbaths is a strategy for ultimate Islamic Victory.

It is very important that Islam not set precedent with public prayers and footbaths. Every Islamic achievement is a "Victory for Islam" in Islam's Civilization Jihad. Every victory is the necessary step for a bolder victory, and it is obligatory to Moslems, when achievable, to kill those who attempt to diminish Islamic advancements, along with those who do not "submit" to Islam.

Prayer times are for uniformity and consistency, and all Moslems should try to do the prayers within the time allotment. However, prayers can be postponed to a time or place more comfortable. If it is uncomfortable or inappropriate to pray somewhere, to conceal the religion, if publicly awkward, if at work, school, or even a social event, Moslems can, and do, postpone the required prayers, and make them up later in the privacy of their own homes. Prayer debt can accumulate for days or even years if necessary.

The only demand on prayer time is, Moslems can make-up missed prayers but they cannot do prayers in advance.

Praying together is reinforcing, encouraging. It may be enlightening for some, nevertheless, attending a Friday Group Prayer is optional. Moslems are supposed to try to establish a group prayer on Fridays if there is a large enough Moslem population to attend, and if the hosting society and circumstances permit. It is not a sin if they cannot establish a group prayer. It is only a sin if they do not try. A group prayer does not have to be public. It can be in a home, a mosque, private property, or anywhere feasible. They know they will not go to hell if they cannot achieve their "goals".

It is customary in the modern era to combine the noon and afternoon prayers together, then the evening and night prayers together; so the five prayers are completed within three prayer sessions/washings per day, breaking down to a "morning prayer", an "afternoon prayer", and a "night prayer." Even under Shariah Law, people usually pray at home, and it is not uncommon for a person to postpone prayers for convenience or necessity. They pray in mosques occasionally, and on Fridays some enjoy praying at a Friday Group Prayer, where they perform the same daily prayers they perform at home.

When I was in Iran, I saw no public footbaths anywhere, but mosques often had fountains. Everyone usually does the ritual washing at home before leaving for a Friday prayer. At a mosque, they may choose to use the fountain. Interestingly, they can use dirt or sand whenever necessary, if clean water is not available.


Public praying in Democratic societies is provocative. It is an empowering and a luxurious tactic toward Islamic victory. It is comparable to bullying, and at least annoying, intimidating, and expensive for most sensible non-Moslems in a Western society, i.e. Europe and America.

The Real Purpose for Prayer Rooms, Public Prayers and Footbaths in theWest:
The Muslim Brotherhood May 22, 1991 Memorandum accepted into evidence in the U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation (HLF) case, titled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America", includes an Attachment with a Muslim Brotherhood explanation:

" In order for Islam and its Movement to become "a part of the homeland" in which it lives, "stable" in the land, "rooted" in the spirits and minds of its people, "enabled" in the lives of its society and has firmly-established "organizations" on which the Islamic structure is built and with which the testimony of the civilization is achieved, the Movement must plan and struggle to obtain "the keys" and the tools of this process in carry out this grand mission as a "Civilization Jihadist" responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslim and – on top of them – the Muslim Brotherhood in this country."

An earlier writing about Islamic Praying:

Dear Knowers,

Before we bend over backwards to embolden moslems by giving them prayer time and space, we should know that the moslem prayer schedule is much more flexible than we in the West are led to believe. Moslems are not ever required to pray in public, but when prayers are performed, they are required to be recited out loud (so that everyone can hear). But that is variable too; it can be whisper like if necessary.

I was married to a moslem Iranian from 1978-1987 and practiced Islam. When I finally denounced my Islamization, a divorce immediately ensued. "X" filed first, falsely claiming that I cheated on him. I know a lot about Islamic subtleties; and public praying and prayer rooms is a BIG SHOW.

It is OK for moslems to postpone the scheduled daily prayer times. They do not have to pray on the exact schedule. Prayer time is established for uniformity and consistency but can be postponed to a time or place where prayers can be performed comfortably and satisfactorily. If it is uncomfortable or inappropriate to pray, if they do not want to expose their religion, or if they are in public, at work, school, or even a social event, moslems can (and do) skip the required prayers and make them up in the privacy of their own homes, preferably as soon as possible. Prayer debt can accumulate for days or even years if necessary. Praying together is reinforcing and encouraging. It is not required.

In addition, it is customary in the modern era to combine two of the prayers into a single set twice a day, so the combined five prayers can be completed during three prayer sessions/washings per day. It is customary to combine the noon prayer with the mid-afternoon prayer, and the evening prayer with the night prayer. The rule is: moslems can make-up missed prayers (even for days on end), but they cannot do prayers in advance. X never prayed in public, unless it was with his fellow MSA cohorts at Utah State University, where they held meetings in an auditorium on Friday nights(1978-1980), or at a private home gathering.

I travelled to Iran when it was under Sharia Law (1981). People usually prayed at home, frequently postponing prayers. They pray in mosques occasionally, and they pray at the OPTIONAL Friday prayer. There were no public footbaths anywhere, with the exception that mosques often had fountains. Everyone usually does the ritual washing before leaving home for Friday prayers. At a mosque they may choose to use the fountain. Interestingly, they can use dirt or sand whenever necessary, in place of water.

The islamic public praying is a BIG SHOW. It is an emboldening luxury for Islam, and purposeful intimidation and expense for Americans. That is its real purpose. It is very important that Islam be exposed as the hypocritical religion that it is, and stopped from imposing public precedent, especially when not even required.
