| − | Last winter while visiting a small church which runs a small employment outreach which offers computer access and job counseling and I volunteer as a mentor for young people, at 2:00pm several of us stepped outside in the winter air for a break. There was a kid crouched over on the back steps we had to step around to get out. At first, I thought he was sick and throwing up. But he implied in few words he was ok, and didn't want to be bothered (never mind the rest of us being inconvenienced by stepping over him). But he was filling conscious and involved in whatever he was thinking about. In coming days, as I got to know him, I connected the dots. I could have explained to him his prayers were null and void, ''per'' Islamic scholars, but figured it was a waste of time. I am more concerned however, about 20 year old youths, not having a clue what they are doing, essentially reiterating in their minds 5 times daily curses on non-Islamic believers.
