“Practising Muslims will find a way to pray one way or another and they’ll find a place,” Ender Cetin, chairman at the Sehitlik Mosque in Berlin, told The Local.

If the mosque is too far away, they’ll find a corner to do it in, he says.

“You easily feel discriminated against by people if they don’t talk to you and then say, ‘you can’t practice your religion as you are used to’,” Cetin warns.

But several leading universities see things differently and a spate of decisions to close prayer rooms has led to claims of discrimination.
