Turkish Muslims praying Jewish prayer shawls

Some Muslims from Turkey traveling through Ben-Gurion airport in Israel decided to use some of their free time while waiting for their flight to pray.

The Ben-Gurion synagogue was empty at the time, so the group decided to go there, but the tourists mistook the Jewish prayer shawls (Talit, Talitot, Taleisim) in the shul for Islamic prayer rugs.

They put them on the floor and began to kneel and bow on them.

A Jewish man entered the synagogue and saw them there. He explained to the confused tourists they were kneeling on Jewish prayer shawls and they were in a Jewish synagogue.

The Muslim tourists apologized and neatly folded up the Jewish prayer shawls and put them back where they found them.
