The last Friday of Ramzan (the month of fasting for Muslims) is a special day, and one gets extra points if one prays on the main noon prayers on that day. So the mosques are just packed. Across the street from where we live is one of the biggest and more influencial mosques in the area, so it get really really packed.
The police block off all the surrounding streets so that people can spread their prayer rugs on the street as overflow. Got a 45 minutes sermon today, instead of the usual 10 minute homily.

So who is the person that gives the extra points, or is it their god who gives the points?
Can these points be redeemed at a later date?
Do the mosques ever have visiting foreign speakers to address the throngs of people?
Just thinking that Dr. Stoltzfus would be an excellent candidate. :)
