And having Muslim in laws I saw in the actions in the clip very reminiscent of my Muslim friends and relatives.

Expressing your religion in basic acts of kindness is a vital part of most Muslim's spiritual life.

The other quality that is hard to see at a distance, their tremendous hospitality, which in fact can be somewhat overwhelming.

My Brother in Law recently visited from Thailand. We look forward to seeing him but he had heard so much about homeless people in the US that he thought he would take off and spent the week living off the beaches in San Diego, and Orange County.

Oh yeah, he is 68 years old.
