The five daily prayers have to be done at specific times and some of them have a short time window. Then there is a fundamentalist viewpoint that missing prayers is one of the greatest sins you can commit (I know). So those people will stop whatever they are doing in order to pray. That's fine, if you believe that shit. But don't then take a job which prevents you from doing that and then think you can just make up your own rules for it.
What kind of idiotic version of Islam does he adhere to that he as to pray right then and there?I live in a Muslim country and everything doesn't stop at prayer time, nor is our work schedule...erm...scheduled around prayer times, so I assume that either most people don't actually adhere, or that they are allowed a certain amount of flexibility when they do it. I've taught plenty of lessons when the call to prayer was happening and not once has a student asked to be excused.
