Muslims, if devout, are asked to pray 5 times a day and the process takes 5-10 minutes each time.
Before school, during lunch break, mid-afternoon, evening, night.
So, if requested, let the kid take 5 minutes mid-afternoon for the sake of satisfying his religious beliefs. I see no problem with Muslim prayer being allowed in schools any more than any other sort of prayer, and, personally? I'm agnostic/secular if not atheistic.
