Children come to see the animals, not people praying!

And common sense prevailed in this case.

they have no place in the west, have a go in a muslim country with demands you will get sort shrift or a bullet to the head, and yet they want the same things they profess to leave behind for freedom in the west

Good for him..these people need to learn that they do what we want not what they want, dont like it...then go, nobody will stop you...far from it
Do we know the outcome?
Not that I agree with petting zoos; however, if you're going to have one, surely it should be a petting zoo and not a praying zoo.
He can hardly be accused of a 'Muslim hater' as he would of refused admission in the first place but that appears not to be the case. It would also appear that he calmly explained his position and did not 'kick any one out' and just walked away having made his point.

since one of the conditions for Salah is a ritually clean environment, I'd have thought a petting zoo was a very strange place to start praying....
I don't speak Dutch so haven't a clue who was saying what; but I think the owner has a point. If they feel a need to pray at particular points in the day they should ensure they are in an appropriate place to do so. But I guess one had to be there to judge the situation properly.
Troublemakers.
Also, if was really a muslim "hater", he would have brusquely directed them to the petting pig section.
O-G
This comment came from a U.S. publication which I found whilst looking for a judicial result.




Of course, this is yet another example of Muslims bullying non-Muslims, then suing when they don’t get their way. Islamic prayer has definitive timing, so this family could have easily scheduled their petting zoo trip around their prayer, if it’s really that crucial. However, they chose to be at this particular location during the time of their prayer, most likely intentionally.

The Salam family deliberately brewed the perfect situation for them to scream “bigotry” if anyone objected to their actions, knowing that ignorant non-Muslims like Huub and the justice system would have no clue that Muslims are able to make up missed prayers at a later time if needed.

The five daily prayers are actually flexible, unbeknownst to many non-Muslims. If a Muslim misses one by accident, they must only ask forgiveness and say the prayer as soon as conveniently possible. If they are forced to miss one because of work, school, or other understandable hindrances, they only need to say that prayer when they get a moment to do so.

These Muslims took Huub and the Netherlands for fools, playing on the country’s unconditional tolerance to destroy tolerance of everyone else. Unfortunately, Islam uses freedom and democracy to obliterate freedom and democracy, and it’s only a matter of time before we’ve tolerated our own demise.

Will those “saintly” liberals preaching tolerance for this sort of behavior lose any sleep when Huub van Leijsen loses his business over this debacle? Of course not. They’re too ignorant to recognize the idiocy of their ideals and too self-obsessed to change their point of view.

It does appear that the family overreacted, and have continued to do so by pursuing legal action.

Hopefully common sense will prevail if and when the case does come to court.
andy-hughes, it's been settled. The zoo owner wasn't prosecuted. See Mushroom's link at 14.18.
I'm glad he was not prosecuted after all.
And if it does go to trial, how long with the trial last if they have to keep on taking time out to pray?
Oops.

Thanks for that.
You're welcome.
perhaps they should visit Gromit's Tibetan peace tea shop.
If it is with case or not I don't know but there does seem to be a trickle of these sort of discrimination incidents.

I tend to think that at times there may be a bit of 'planning to make an issue' in advance or at least the 'I am waiting to be offended and will look for it by hook or by crook' attitude.

-- answer removed --
Cassa, there have always been people like that - management requests them to leave premises and immediately...'It's because I am this/that or because I live here/there etc etc'.

Been happening forever, no one wants to just shrug and say 'Your place, you have the right to refuse'.
