#2 The gist of what they are doing is to try and teach dirt dog ignorant peasants a few basics of "less-violent" Islam. As it is, for them "Moslem" is just a name of what they call themselves, and they have to bow towards the East while somebody says something in Arabic they don't understand.

Remember that in northwest Africa, the peasants can be utterly savage and murderous in ways that even Moslems get queasy over. So this is the government effort to get them to tone it down.

#3 This is a very good idea, as well as a foot in the door. In another 300-400 years, if Islam still exists, they'll be allowed to lead prayers. In another millenium, they'll become imams. Islam moves slow, which is why most muslims are still mired in the 7th century.
