It isn't nuts but it is not a good idea, what it is, is it is contrived and otiose. It isn't something most Muslims want or expect. I'm speaking for myself, of course, but I am fairly confident a lot of other Muslims will feel the same way. What is the purpose of it? It is just going to be a source of irritation to a lot of people, and I am not referring to those who are hostile to Islam. The presence of observant is enough to provoke them.
The kind of response this will get is the last thing Muslims need, it creates the impression that we are asking and expecting to be mollycoddled. Essentially it is patronising, something which won't go over the heads of anyone with half a brain. A dumb arse move which will only advantage those who will be happy to see greater intolerance shown towards Islam and Muslims.
