Very serious question - can any non-Muslim just walk into a Mosque unaccompanied and sit through their entire Friday prayer service?

Anyone here ever done that?

What's it like?

I'm curious because one time I asked a Muslim co-worker (who leaves at 11:30 every Friday to go to Mosque) what his Friday service was like - he changed the subject and wouldn't talk about it.

well after the flag burning and stonings of whores we usually just have coffee and scones.

windgaps comment may get it locked, but he's not asking about the theology of Islam, just what they do in a mosque.  Just the same way I might ask what a catholic does in mass.  I don't really think this is the same.  But, I've been wrong before.

DOH!!!!!!

Didn't see it. Thanks.

I guess I'll move it to the Religion forum.




Lock please? Thanks.

I've gone into mosques unaccompanied. Never tried on the Friday service, though.

He likely doesn't talk about it because he's afraid of ridicule or nonsense.
