With an increasing number of So-malian and other Muslim immigrants migrating to the Twin Cities (and despite a separation of church and state), schools have had to accommodate Muslims' need to pray five times a day with quiet space. -- Mowlid Ali, right, raises his hands in preparation of beginning his prayers during his school lunch hour. Mowid and his fellow Muslim classmates at Roosevelt High School are praying in the social room of a Luthern Church across the street from the school during the Muslim holiday of Rhamadin. (copy desk the boy in the blue shirt next to him is Abdinoor Hayir, but the third boy got away from me and I couldn't find him in the crowd. I suggest we just use the Mowlid Ali's name because not only ishis body language is distictive in a way that sets him apart, but also the camera focus in on him. To use the second name is to beg the issue of why we don't name all three.)(Photo By RITA REED/Star Tribune via Getty Images)
