RELIGION

There can be little doubt that this is a Muslim country.
In fact, it is the largest Muslim country in the world, population-wise.
Most of our time here this time has been during LEBARAN, the month of Fasting for Muslims.
Because Muslims are not to eat during daylight hours, the restaurants put up curtains,
so as to shield temptation from those who choose to fast.

It has been interesting how many people we see inside these restaurants, behind the curtains
that are enjoying their noon time meals!

Other evidences of the Muslim majority here is the headcoverings of the women,
and even the little girls.
A Muslim shopkeeper and  Muslim shopper.

Chatting with a Muslim lady in the grocery store.

A little girl dressed in Muslim clothes.

A neighborhood mosque.

And another.
