Wow, you missed an opportunity to freak out the cop by throwing yourself down facing Mecca.

More photo ops available at the I Hop near where I live - Guys having this look, including stink eye, usually with long ,
white robes and crocheted-looking white caps, come for breakfast.  I hate to say it lest I become NOT politically correct, but I feel a little uneasy while wrestling my French toast.
 
wow! the full Salafist getup including the robes. i have NEVER seen that in Austin.
i believe i read somewhere that the white crocheted caps signify that the 
wearer is a slave of Allah. but i cant confirm this 

Salafist fundamentalists in America! i believe the term of art for this 
persuasion is Islamist (as opposed to Islamic). 

it is somewhat comforting that Moslim mosques have been informing the FBI
about these types on an ongoing basis since 9/11. and that no act
of terrorism has happened after 10 years. maybe stink eye should be
criminalized

on another subject, i was stopped by a cop yesterday for crossing the street at 6th
& Congress against the light. it was a "Warning". after i signed the warningt he 
said You are free to go. I said What? He replied "technically you were being detained."

the cop explained he was enforcing PEST.
