Just for once I find myself in agreement with you. I always find it presumptuousness at formal dinners when they say grace-I accept it as part of social convention but the assumption we all agree to it nigles. Don't accept invitations to those occasions where something would bother you.
The diners at heathrow and those praying aloud show a lack of consideration for others IMO. There is no lack of consideration, or we become intolerant of everything within a crowd of people-hair color, dress style, perfume, etc.
Demanding respect and tolerance for their religion but have no respect for those who don't want any part of it.They did not demand anything of you, if you do not want to participate you do not have to, you can always turn and walk away.
Next time sacrifice a rabbit and examine the entrails claiming to be a pagan.Yikes!

I do not see anything wrong with praying over a meal in public, as long as it is done quietly and respectfully. What about other person's conversations during mealtime, on other topics you would find objectionable? Or clothing styles and manners? That is the chance you take in going into a public venue, there will be others with different beliefs, cultures, etc.
