An organization representing Indian Muslim Americans canceled its participation and withdrew its float from the yearly India Day Parade held in New York City over the inclusion of a float that celebrates a highly controversial, recently built Hindu temple, which is being criticized for showing anti-Muslim bias and bigotry.

now, anyone wants to talk about how many times do muslims curse non-muslims (and that too idol worshipers) in their daily 5 prayers?

sorry can’t do that

    I don’t know where you got the idea that reciting sura al-Baqarah is a common part of salah.

    Reciting a sura from the Quran is part of salah, but usually the reciter will choose one of the short suras from near the back of the Quran (known as the quls).

    Sura al-Baqarah is the longest sura in the Quran, being 286 verses long, and it is quite rare to recite it during the five-times daily salah, because no one has time for that, and not many people know it by heart.

      One of the short o es like al Bayyina?

      “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.” (QS. Al-Bayyina: Verse 6)

        One of the four quls (which Muslims are encouraged to memorize, and which are usually used in salah) says:

        O Al-Kafiroun [non-Muslims]! I worship not that which you worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping. Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion and to me my religion.

        It’s in the article I linked above.

        and that’s the job of imams

        Usually people do the five daily prayers in their homes or places of work with no imam around. They might go to a mosque once a week on Friday and hear an imam lead the prayer, and yes, the imam could decide to recite sura al-Baqarah (if the imam doesn’t mind trying the patience and stamina of the congregation, who would have to stand in prayer for an hour while the imam finishes reciting it), but that would be unusual. And even if that did happen, it’s not happening five times a day.

        It’s more likely that Muslims would hear sura al-Baqarah once a year, during Ramadan, when the entire Quran is read over 30 nights.

        idk what mazhab you follow are you a shia?

        I didn’t say I was a Muslim.
