many people are criticizing
Many people are also strongly criticizing this event. Hassan Sajwani, a UAE resident who is active on social media, said – People face problems by offering Namaz on the road. There are more than 270 mosques in New York alone, which are the best places for prayers. There is no need to block people's way to demonstrate religion. This is not the way Islam teaches us.
Another user also wrote – I am a Muslim but do not support offering Namaz on Times Square. It may give the wrong message that Islam is an 'aggressor' or an infiltrator. Therefore, offer Namaz only in mosques.
