First time went to a mosque
I've only been to a mosque once and as a latin i was not familiar with the smell. I grew up christian and a cathedral can defiently smell like wood and burnt candles which it usually is. But the mosque had a heavier smell. Like some African scent. Its like i dont smell the mosque but the people. Also even though i am latin. People confuse me as Arabic or Bengals at time. One if the members thought I was middle Eastern and spoke to me in their language. He got mad if didnt understand what they were saying. Also it was only middle Eastern or African people and they al spoke their own language. Also surprised when the service was over and everyone left the biulding women started to remove hijab. The only thing that didnt surprise me was there was a halal truck waiting in front. I remember praying and trying to hear other prayers because I didnt know what to say and we were all staring at the screen and looking at meccca. I would probably go once more just to experience.
