The teaching of Jesus in regard to prayer: "And when thou pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:5-6First, I assume the two players in the photograph are Christians and there's nothin
g wrong with that...Because I am my self a Christian...But when I saw the photo.... I was thinking out loud.... I have never seen an Islamic players at any ball game or any place else for that matter take the typical Muslim prayer position of that faith in public...I am not saying it don't occur but I have never witness it occurring....Any way ,I would like to no what would be the response from a typical all American football fan... if such a display (Muslim player) were to occur? Would they think extremist: One who is far above the norm or hypocrite: one having a misleading appearance?
