I have to believe being a muslim is very exhausting.
Your brain is fried by trying to juggle the mental book-keeping where you want to worship God -- but your 'holy book' is basically screaming at you that the god you are worshiping is Satan.
Does God, the Creator of the Universe, need his followers to kill people if they dis' HIM? Of course not. But who actually enjoys human carnage and misery amongst men and women? - Satan.
Also, Mohammad himself said he once spoke the words of Satan (when something didn't happen that he 'prophesized') - the so-called Satanic verses that got Rushdie 'fatwa'd'. No Prophet of God can ever prophesize a lie ... ergo, maybe Mo was working for the other team?

So - when your brain logic tells you are worshiping something evil - but you know if your mouth voices these concerns you'll get your head lopped off (most likely by your own relatives) - you have to come up with exhausting methods that require to shut off your mind: i.e., 'don't think about the words of the koran - just chant them over and over again. The Arabic is beautiful ...' in fact its better if you don't know the Arabic because you won't understand the meaning ... which in the case of the koran follower - this would be a good thing (to avoid brain hemorrhaging).

Yes - I can imagine the exhaustion. I pray, at some point, they can find Rest in the Lord Jesus...
