It's too bad that you can't force others to listen to your prayers? Why
should anyone have to listen to your prayers? Why can't you keep your
prayers to yourself? Shall we spend each morning listening respectfully to
the prayers of all religions represented in your community? Can you stand
still and respectfully listen to the prayers of muslims, jews, hindus,
buddhists, ...? Or should everyone only bow before your prayers?
