muslim prayers trump new york parking laws.

Oh for heavens sake why won’t the authorities grow some back bone and rid our world of this virus. This scab on society. 
Whatever country they infest, things must follow their faith and things convenient to it.  Never mind local customs or traditions.
I wish we could cut out this cancer once and for all time. With no exceptions. Out,out damn spot!

I am not posting the photos but they are well worth seeing if you haven’t seen em yet.

The upmarket Manhattan block that grinds to a halt at prayer time… as Muslim taxi drivers illegally park outside Islamic center
By DANIEL BATES

With a sea of yellow stretching into the distance, it looks like the taxi queue at a busy airport.

But this picture was actually taken outside a Mosque during a prayer service - with 200 Muslim cabbies illegally parked.

Residents of the wealthy Upper West Side of Manhattan are outraged that their streets are being taken over multiple times each day for the 45-minute service.

The taxi drivers are double and triple parking in a huge line that forces traffic into the oncoming lane.

The situation has flared up and on one occasion a cop telling a taxi driver to move on was swarmed by other hacks - and had to call for reinforcements.

When several other police cars arrived the taxi driver was handcuffed and led away.

Muslims have been parking illegally at the Islamic Cultural Centre for four years but the row has blown up because a road that connects to it that has been closed for the whole time has now reopened.

Prayers take place five times a day but the busiest is on Fridays at lunchtime when up to 300 worshippers - and 200 taxi drivers - are in attendance.

Most of the taxi drivers appear unrepentant with one claiming: ‘I have to pray. I have no choice but to break the rules.’

Cabbie Abdoulaye Diallo, a 30-year-old immigrant from Guinea, told DNA info that he had got several $75 fines for parking illegally outside the mosque but he did not care.

He said: ‘For me, my prayer is more important, because that’s what I’m going to take with me the day I die’.

Residents however are increasingly anxious that they cannot cross the road safely.

‘It’s an accident waiting to happen, said James Beale, the resident manager at a Trump tower block that is next to the mosque.

‘It’s a very dangerous situation. It’s like all the rules of the road are thrown aside,’ he told DNA info.

Abdur Rahman, an assistant imam at the mosque, said it had told worshippers to respect the parking rules but they had failed to do so.

But he also claimed that the parking rules should be more flexible to accommodate worshippers’ needs.

A few comments on the subject by DM readers.

It happens here as well. I recently visited my childhood neighbourhood one Friday. I couldn’t drive my car down the street because of illegal parking near one of the many mosques in Green Street Upton Park. And not a plod to be seen anywhere. Perhaps they’ll take action if an MP gets killed in a fire and the rescue services are unable to reach them.

America should step on this - NOW!. These people think nothing of complaining when we do something they don’t like.

I bet they would complain if taxi company would stop employing muslims for the same reason. Then it would be an issue of human rights,right?

wtf? Abdu what?  Abdoulaye?  Jeesh. How about making it more American sounding so we can say it.
How about ...
Abscess.  Vermin in human cloths and walking upright.  How long they been walking that way? Need to find the rocks they live under.  Oh whoops. That looks like a hate thought in progress.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
