	I figured out the five "pillars", but under what category are other Islamic religious directives, such as not eating pork, or eating Halal, or abstaining from alcohol?

	The one for Shahada is too specific. Good idea for a quiz.

	How exactly does "the" work as a substitute for "fasting during ramadan"?

	@johnlk: It doesn't any more! But it will have happened because a blank answer was accidentally included in the alternatives. Some short words like `the' are automatically stripped from answers before they're checked, so `the' gets converted to a blank, which matched the accidental blank answer. By default, answers are only checked if they have at least three letters, so you didn't get the blank answer until you'd typed something. (Three spaces would also have worked.)

	Public declaration of faith doesn't work but declaration of faith does?

	@Chuck and john: Without marking yourselves as kidding. I can only assume you really are ignorant racists and the "down" button has been marked. :) Of course, kidding about such things doesn't really make you sound any less ignorant...

	Please keep your comments respectful and productive.

	I only looked here to see how many disparaging comments there would be. Thanks John and Chuck for ensuring my visit was not a waste of time. Sad...

	I feel this quiz should be the other way around. Definitions should be given and contestants must named each pillar. I think that would be a lot smoother.

	oh duh. i should have gotten salat! :(

	Too be honest, I can't help but chuckle at the two comments above. It is unfortunate that the actions of such an extremely small portion of islamic extremists can skew the views of so many people upon the entire islamic faith.

	I just kept reading the terms and saying 'Gesundheit'

	hmm.... saying "there is no God but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet" did not work...

	Salaam to all my fellow Muslims on Sporcle!

	capncokenojoke:	Jun 5th, 2009 at 08:55 GMT		7 points
	well theres.. pillar 1, pillar 2, pillar 3, pillar 4, and pillar 5... that was easy

	i got them all just by reading novels that take place in islamic countries

	3/5 Aw, I can't believe I forgot the one for Sawm. I actually thought back to reading The Alchemist for a couple of them (the author is Paulo Coelho, if anyone is interested; I personally loved it). Got Shahada first only by luck

	@IHateRegistering: While I certainly don't condone what john and Chuck have posted, I don't think we should use Sporcle's comment board as a soap box either. Just saying

	Mecca worked for "Pilgramage to Mecca" but "Pilgrimage" did not; perhaps that should be allowable.

	Since when did treating others with decency and respect become synonymous with political correctness?
