My project is called “Total Prayer.” It is my attempt to both understand the spiritual beauty and cul­ture of Islam and to consider the problems arising from the rapid spread of Islam across the world. A particularly acute problem is the relationship between the West and Islam. Western hopes that millions of immigrants from Islamic countries would integrate into their society, assimilate and ac­cept the laws and values of their life have been disappointed. Islam is still growing, not only thanks to ethnic Muslims, and no longer fits inside mosques. Due to a shortage of mosques, believers have flooded the city streets, turning them into the torrents of a total prayer. Here clashes with other eth­nic cultures become inevitable and can grow into open confrontations. The question is how we can arrive at mutual understanding, respect and love. Only we can find an­swers to this question, but only if we want to. God willing, we will have the patience and love to real­ize that and to love each other.
