FYI, Islam is not a race, it’s a religion, and an ideology, and a batch of laws (Shariah) that rules a lot of life aspects of a muslim society.
I would also point out that sunni islam, especially salafism embraces intrinsically racist ideologies, something you’ll hardly find in shia islam. For many extremists, they see themselves like a superior race.
After discussing with a few muslim people myself, I assure you they know this, even if they are white people converted to Islam. ( I suppose you get the whole irony.)
On a similar note, zionism, a pretty absurd, extremist fork of judaism which uses and abuses the same concept of ideology-defined race, similar to salafist concepts. The core idea is the same, divide people who are the same into different ideologies, even inside a religion itself. The goal? to control them better.
I’m far from being against religions, they are essential for bringing concepts that builds civilization, and should unite people. Instead, it’s just another label, just like becoming a proud aryan skinhead masterrace 14/88, or some absolutely righteous atheist social justice warrior. Such is the state of mankind today.
If it was a white christian or atheist dude doing this, I don’t think anyone would be offended. I don’t know this person or their beliefs for certain, so it would be rude to assume.
If I was a religious person, I’d try to do my prayers at home or during my work break. And hopefully my employers would understand this. I’m a fedora tipping atheist in real life, but I can understand how important it is to other people.
It translates into
“Some of those human beings are absolutely pathetic”
That’s pretty much racist, or a bit disrespectful. Also I don’t think this person was intentionally praying in front of the pink aisle, but they are required to pray in direction of the Mecca.

Yeah, after all it’s not a magical stone in front of them or anything.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I feel like if it was a Muslim, they’d have shuffled a few feet to the side, to avoid the appearance of idolatry.
It isn’t. The OP was just trying to start shit on that 4chan thread.
How is it racist?

not sure that guy’s even muslim.
probably doing it as a parody/insult to the whole ‘pray to mecca’ or extreme ‘i am not worthy’.

I mean she’s not wrong.
Just incredibly ambiguous.
