Totally off topic, but it has me thinking. What's the difference between "seasonal muslims" and "seasonal christians?" Or has someone already touched on this? (I don't have time to read the whole thread at the moment. :blush:

It's about the same. Instead of a Christmas/Easter Christian, you've got Eid muslims, ie those who only show up at the masjid during the two eids (festivals), and/or who only practice islam (make an attempt at the 5 times daily salat, maybe fast) during the month of Ramadan. Or, those who don't make any attempt to practice at all, but still show up for the iftars (meal to break the fast) hosted by community members during ramadan.

Sounds like what I was thinking. Thanks Rahma! :thumbs:
