Did you know Muslims created the flash mob?

I am sure you have seen 'flash mobs' on Youtube, or in commercials, or maybe you have been lucky enough to have one suddenly break out around you.  If you haven't, or don't know what a 'flash mob' is, here is the Wikipedia entry:
Flash Mob

You can see examples of them here:

But really what is a flash mob? It is a group of people from varying walks of life coming together at a specific time and place to execute a specific, synchronized physical performance.  As others have said, a flash mob creates excitement, unity and gray area between the performers and the audience.  There is one such 'happening' that occurs 5 times a day, around the world, and has been happening for nearly 2000 years... Muslim prayer.

A musical recitation rings out (the call to prayer), seemingly random people drop what they are doing and converge on a pre-agreed location (the masjid), then, in perfect synchronization, they all execute a specific physical performance to a soundtrack (the imam), then at it's conclusion they all disperse.

Take a look at your schedule and come of with solutions ahead of time for lunches and dinners
out, this will give you a game plan to follow. It is
important that you realise that if you do miss one of your exercise sessions it is not the end of the world.
To keep one motivated it is important to alternate the activities after one to two weeks.

Information that informs the public and makes them good citizens is
the kind of quality information that one can be proud to call news, and if it ever
goes completely out of style, may the Lord help us, for it will be the end of civilization as we know it.

Both the content and presentation of news are drastically different from
what it used to be. Due to the recent horrifying terror attacks and other such couple of events people
want to be aware and alerted of the whereabouts of the nation.

Here again you want to find or even create an angle or slant in
which you can take headline news and 'incorporate' it into a post you are composing.

Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan had a rough battle, when
the movies related to them were released at the same time.
Every now and then, new stars emerge and disappear in the blink
of an eye and every smallest detail about the same becomes important celebrity news.
