Del. Lionell Spruill, Brian Moran’s outreach coordinator for his Gubernatorial campaign, expressed some pointed thoughts about Muslim prayer at General Assembly [1]:
Del. Lionell Spruill, D-Chesapeake, said he was taught to conclude his prayers in Jesus’ name, but people of other faiths shouldn’t have to hear it at public events.
He said he doesn’t like to hear prayers of different religions, “especially those of the Muslim faith that I don’t care too much about.”
Later, Spruill said he meant nothing against Muslims themselves, only how they end their prayer.
Nothing against Muslims, Del. Spruill just doesn’t want to hear them pray. It bothers him.
