    The ONE friggin time being an extremist and interpreting religious texts literally has paid off bigtime.

    Same goes for knowing when to pray, you get calendars with all the calculations on the exact time, down to the minute on when the sun is going to be in five precise locations in the sky.

    The Virgin Christian abbots :
    Noo, it’s middday when I ring my bells, it doesn’t matter how bright it is outside!
    The Chad Muslim Imam:
    Yes, I had the most mathematically capable brother calculate for us that Zuhr is exactly 12:03 today, MashAllah

        You believe that praying at a certain time and direction is extremism?

        praying at precise times and precise directions.

        Hypothetically, you could interpret the prayers and directions as North, Northwest etc and “five times a day, roughly spaced apart”. But the calculations are extremely precise.
