Viral Mosques in America Overcrowded by Congregants for Friday Prayers, Even Non-Muslims Are Amazed

Unlike other countries in the Middle East, Muslims in the United States are a minority. This is because based on statistics, the Muslim population in Uncle Sam's country only amounts to about 1 percent of the total population in the country.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Muslims there to diligently worship. In fact, the routine worship of Muslims, namely Friday prayers, is always crowded and crowded. To the extent that this made the figure of a priest or priest named Carlos Sarmiento surprised and amazed at the same time.

Through the viral video that he made and re-uploaded by the Ayatuna Ambassador's Facebook account, it was seen that Sarmiento was driving a car. When he passed a mosque that was packed with worshipers for Friday prayers, he showed his astonishment.

"Look at this. The parking lot is packed. They gather there to pray, and this happens every Friday, in every mosque. It's hard to believe," he said surprised.

Sarmiento then admitted that he was both amazed and upset, because at the same time he compared it with the habits of Christians who, according to him, had a lower awareness of worshiping in church.

"This is a warning. I am saddened by this, they (Muslims, ed) have a habit of worshiping," he said.

The pastor who comes from Orlando, United States of America, then showed evidence of his words by visiting a church that clearly says 'open 24 hours', but is often empty of visiting congregations. A sight in contrast to the mosque he used to pass by.

"There are so many church services around the country struggling to hold meetings. I just showed you the weekly Muslim Friday Prayer, and this is our parking lot. You see the difference, there are only 5 cars, including me," Sarmiento said.

The priest seemed to satire on the phenomenon of American Christians who, according to him, have many worldly tendencies.

"I was disturbed and disturbed at the same time. This shows how weak the condition of the American church is. If there is a barbeque, people come. But if there is a church meeting, people are busy," he said.

He also conveyed his call for Christians to enliven the church as Muslims enliven the mosque during the Friday prayer momentum.
