Arab World:
"Despite a fundamentalist movement in the Arab world, mosque attendance is also dropping in some Arab countries, principally among younger Arabs (Maussen 2005, Zia-Ebrahini 2005)."
Europe:
"The great majority of all mosques in democratic countries? not only in North America, but in most of western Europe as well?are controlled by extremists."
"The ESS figures, which are being published for the first time in Europe in Aftenposten, show that 60.5% of Muslims immigrants who have lived less than a year in Europe regularly go to the mosque. But after they've lived more than a year in their new homeland, the figure drops to 48.8%. More than half rarely or never go to the mosque to pray."
Iran:
"... no more than 1-1?% attend Friday prayers, and lots of those who do are dragooned into being there. Three years ago one cleric said that 73% of Iranians did not even say their daily prayers."
Iraq:
"Ibrahim Hassan, the imam of Raparin Mosque in Rania, said attendance has dropped among the youth in his congregation. He fears technology has become a hindrance to religious devotion in general... At rural mosques, people regularly attend services but in Rania, Hassan said, even adults are so busy with technology that they neglect their religious duties."
United Kingdom:
"Asked how important religion was to them 78% of British Muslims said very important, but 48% of them also said they never attended a mosque, with another 6% saying they only attended for special occassions. The actual religious observance of Muslims doesn?t seem to match with how important they say religion is to them"
United States of America:
"Of an estimated four million to six million Muslims in the United States, the study found, only about 350,000 [approximately 6%] on average attend the Friday midday prayers."
