However most of the Muslims I know and am related to (my parents were actually converts to Christianity so not sure why Paddy has got his knickers in a twist) aren't religious so you are lucky to find them praying on a Friday.
Oh and all my local Mosques you do have to book but then they are the Mosques who do open days.Leave a comment:

PS All that bowing right down in Mosques. If they had alternating men and lady rows I'd convert.Leave a comment:

They usually are quite open about friday prayer so not sure why they would hide their prayer for the rest of the week but what do I know.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI have Jewish and Muslims in my extend family, I have attended Synagogues, Mosques and Churches. I lived opposite a mosque for five years in my youth and knew the people well. I have read the Koran several times I can assure you I know far more about the Sunni and Shia than you do. No, they don't book a space to pray, and yes, many Sunnis pray five times a day and Shia three times a day. I think you are talking with a lack of experience in the subject.

In Shia, a men can have "fixed term temporary wives" blessed via payment to the mullah. The marriage can last from one hour to several months or a year then it automatically expires.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostVery few Muslim pray 5 times a day. Most just turn up to Friday prayers.
Anyway they have to book a space to pray.Leave a comment:
