I know these folks pray a lot, but is it fair to ask them specifically what they are praying for?

It is all excessive legalism, and they are a prisoner to it.

The 5 pillars of Islam dictate these legalistic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder-like rituals (pray 5 times a day, pilgrimage to Mecca, fasting, etc).

The "Sixth" pillar of Islam is Jihad, which is kind of a "Magic Bullet" ticket to heaven on the Expressway with E-Z Pass, or so they think.

None of this, of course, gets them into heaven or makes them right with God.

The only mistake they made was that they kicked him off after they landed. Now he can cause more problems. If they would have kicked him off before they landed then he would never have had this problem again.
