Muslim man told to stop praying by security guard at train station sparking outrage

A security guard who asked a Muslim man to stop praying at a train station in Canada has been suspended from his role.

The passenger, who identified himself as Ahmad, told CTV news Ottawa that a security guard — subcontracted to work for Canada’s Via Rail — came up to him after he had just finished praying and said “don’t pray in here.”

The security guard can be heard saying “don’t pray in here. We don’t want you praying here. You’re bothering our other customers, OK? Pray outside next time.”
