    This is an interesting take on the level of religious practice of many Muslims. I am not that aware of the work of Khaled, but I am interested by what I have read.

    Good article. You can be Muslim and modern and professional. Everyone I work with is an engineer, scientist, computer specialist, you name it. On Fridays we have a Jummah prayer that at least 30 people attend, often 80+, this just at our place of work.

    People who think this way dont have a clue. They certainly underestimate us.
