I was moved to tears many times in the arabic speaking countries I have lived and worked in.
Prayer time is a very spiritual moment, the air is 'thick' and enchanting, something we rarely experience in the west (apart from the odd Royal wedding).
You need not understand one word of arabic to fully enter into the spirit of the religion.
I have traveled with wife and small daughter throughout these regions and have never encountered anything but a warm reception from the locals.
Maybe as Ra put it did Mohammed offer his peoples a more 'refined' or less distorted version of the LOO.
