I don't care where people pray. It is their business. Why are you drawing that inference? I merely stated fact, that being I read several articles and not one refer to it as a Muslim or Islamic prayer area. I have read prayer area, reflection area and spiritual area. I was only responding to what appears to be a confusing headline. Meadowlands Sports Complex is owned by the State of New Jersey and I would be surprised to see them specify a religion for a particular space. If they do, than there will be a separate room for all and there simply isn't that much space available. My personal opinion is that they should have TV time outs so Muslims at home don't miss a play. They all cannot afford Tivo. Yuk Yuk just kidding lol

he New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, largely as the result of an embarrassing incident in September in which five Muslim men were detained and questioned, this week announced that it will set aside special prayer areas at Giants Stadium and Continental Airlines Arena. Sports Authority President George Zoffinger told the Associated Press that the prayer spots are for anyone of any faith who feels the urge to pray during a game. "With this agreement, we hope we've created an atmosphere where anyone can come to our facilities and feel comfortable," Zoffinger said, not adding, "and we think the idea will be an especially big hit during Jets games."
