A video has gone viral that shows the people continuing to pray, but they can no longer be heard.
After a group of Muslims staged a prayer event in front of one of Canada’s main Catholic cathedrals, church bells soon drowned them out.
A video of the event has now gone viral. The video, posted originally on June 8 by user Mariffe that has been shared widely online, shows a group of Muslims in Montreal praying in front of one of Montreal’s cathedrals. When the church bells ring, the people in the video continue to pray but can no longer be heard.
The video of the event, which happened over the weekend, has close to 35,000 views as of publication time.
It is not clear why the people were praying at that exact spot in Montreal. However, it has become commonplace for Muslims to hold mass prayers in public places in Canada and notably in Europe.
Some asked in the comments if the praying was reversed, that is, if Christians chose to pray in front of a mosque, would they be tolerated?
