Prayer - Islam prescribes five daily prayers in the morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and at night. The noon and afternoon prayers usually fall during work hours. Before praying, Muslims are required to wash their hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, and feet. A sink or other facility is needed. During the prayer, Muslims stand, bow, and prostrate. The prayer must be performed in a quiet, clean, dry place. Employees can pray in their offices or any other suitable work space. They may not respond to someone talking or a telephone call.

It’s obviously an external ritual by a graceless “God” and it is quite sad.

The challenge is for Westerners not to follow suit.

Thanks for answering my unvoiced question, I wondered if they do the 'ho bath every time they pray. Waste of time, waste of water, and, of course, they wash almost everything but their ass. Figures.
