I've asked many Muslims about the arctic circle because the Sun doesn't set at the beginning of summer and doesn't rise in winter.
Many of them never thought about it. It was something that I thought about a lot before converting.
This happens in the North of many countries:
Canada, Iceland, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia
I went to the mosque tonight. Hadn't been there in two weeks because I felt I was doing better at home.
The isha prayer was at 7:33 pm. It finished just before 9:40 pm.
The director of the mosque interrupted the prayer and started by asking who was willing to give $10,000. Nobody raised their hands. He lowered the price to $5,000 and so on and so forth.
I felt like I was taken hostage.
When he finally lowered the price to $500, a few people raised their hands. It still took way too long before he let us finish our prayer.
I don't think I will be returning to the mosque any time soon.
