Interesting. I'm thinking not so much about people being kept from the domes because of their religious practices, but whether the dome program *itself* has ever been an issue for religious people. Say someone is a devout Muslim. They are supposed to pray at certain specified times of the day, without fail. What if the Muslim in question was participating in the dome program and the time for his Maghrib (sunset) prayer rolls around. Is he supposed to move to the side of the dome, spread out his prayer rug, and do his prayers there, before returning to the TM-siddhi program, or is he supposed to skip his Muslim prayers?
