Is Muslim Prayer Funny?

Atheist: Muslims do butt-ups 5 times a day to glorify Allah! How Funny!

Muslim: Muslim 5 time prayer is called “salat”. Salat includes different postures. One of the postures is “prostration” which you call “butt-up position”. “Prostration” is a common posture in all major religions, such as, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Even atheists do this posture in their yoga class because they believe this posture is helpful for physical and mental health. Not only prostration, but all other postures of “salat” are performed by atheists in yoga class. When you laugh at Muslims for prostration, you unconsciously laugh at yourselves.
