Islam becoming weekend affair, The Milli Gazette, Vol.5 No.15, MG109 (1-15 Aug 04)
Religion, for most of the baby-boomers, my contemporaries, has become a weekend thing, where offering Friday prayers means absolution from everything that is required of a Muslim. One only needs to drive around town on a Friday to find traffic jams on the streets housing the fashionable, mostly air-conditioned mosques, yet the same mosques witness fewer, if any, visitors during morning prayers.
