Spirituality- The Muslim Faith

Today I read an article about the Muslim faith and what they believe in.  Muslims pray five times a day and each time they pray, they must cleanse themselves with water.  Praying usually takes 10 to 15 minutes and when they pray, they face towards Mecca and bow for their God.  Their dietary laws consist of pure, clean, wholesome, and pleasing to the taste.  Some prohibited foods consist of pork, blood, and animals that have not been ritually killed.  Muslims keep in touch with their grandparents and  they believe that doing this pays respect to God.  Muslims are intolerant of other religions and believe that Islam is the only religion.  This reminds me of the U.S. because the United States are tolerant of any religion.  They let anyone practice any religion they want without any prosecution.  The U.S does not let kids practice their religion in school because they believe it is offending to others.  Dr. A.
