Blackburn Rovers, a well-known English football team,
has announced the creation of prayer rooms for its Muslim fans.
The latter, who will have to travel to the Ewood Park stadium
to watch their beloved club’s matches,
will no longer have to worry about their prayers
clashing with the progress of a Blackburn Rovers match.

Religious tolerance is well-known in England. England,
a multiracial country par excellence allows its residents
tremendous freedom in religious practice.
This country’s substantial Muslim community practices its religion freely.
Furthermore, England is one of the few countries in Europe that does not forbid
wearing any religious symbol, regardless of the wearer’s confession.

And because religious tolerance is ingrained in people’s minds,
it is not uncommon to see Muslim faithful praying in public spaces
such as gardens or sports halls without being disturbed,
in contrast to the situation in France,
where wearing religious symbols in
public places or praying outside mosques is legal.

In this atmosphere of tolerance, a well-known English football team
multiplies its gestures toward its Muslim supporters.
This is the Blackburn Rovers football club,
which has opted to open the doors of its stadium, Ewood Park,
for Muslim prayer during this year’s Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr festivals.
Hundreds of Muslim worshipers were allowed to pray on a
football pitch for the first time in English football history.
