What’s important?

While about 30% of Americans say religion plays an important role in their lives, nearly 60% in Muslim countries make this claim. This is a ratio of 2:1. This is evident by the number and prominence of the mosques you see in these countries as well as the frequency of prayer. The faithful are summoned 5 times each day by the musical call to prayer which emanates from each mosque. It’s a common sight to see men leaving their stalls and goods, including gold and silver, unattended in the market place while they go to pray. It would be hard to imagine this level of devotion being the norm in the majority of the western world.
