But when you are saying the salat (or namaz) then it's a ritual that must be done in the traditional manner and the ritual is to recite the Quran and recite it in Arabic. In the namaz there are specific times (for example in sujood) that you can say your own prayers.<BR/><BR/>Farah: don't you find it cynical when they do that? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Suroor: tusi great ho, baen-ji. That's all.<BR/><BR/>Sophister: I wonder if it'll be true ten years from now.<BR/><BR/>Youngmuslimah: haha.. taxi drivers have other memories for me though... must...erase...

He had the radio on playing some rock music. My aunt went like 'why did he even bother w/ the beard?!' i snapped back 'not all bearded men are pious as you 'judge' them to be. There are unbearded brothers out there who are more high on the level of piety'..that made her 'hmm...you're right'.
