BERLIN, GERMANY, September 29, 2009: German religious freedom laws require a school to let a devout Muslim student set aside some time during the school day for prayers, a Berlin court ruled.
The 16-year old student had argued that he had already compromised with the school by limiting the number of prayers during the school day to one instead of five. Since the student was requesting prayer time that did not interfere with classroom instruction, the court decided that the prayers must be allowed.
