Re: buddhists

No, it would not bother me if he had to pray five times a day. That doesn't mean I have to join him no more than anyone has to join me in my prayers. If a group of students wanted to get together, on their own time, before or after the bell rings, and pray, I feel they should be allowed to do it. And I mean people of any faith. I don't feel that a preacher led prayer is appropriate at an official school function. However, if a football team wishes to pray before a game without forced guidance, they should be allowed to do so. If any team member does not want to join in for whatever reason, he should be made to feel that he is free not to.

It seems strange to me that the name Makkah is so like that of Mecca. What is happening here?
