Would you like to convert?

In Penang we jumped at our chance to finally explore a few of the mosques scattered across the city. We started at the Floating Mosque of Tanjung Bungah. Resting on stilts high above the ocean this mosque had a lovely pastel blue hue which complimented perfectly with the ocean below. The security guard helped dress Cassie in the appropriate attire before entering. He was friendly and wanted to take our pictures from a slew of directions highlighting the mosques beautiful views.

Later in the day we explored the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Georgetown, the historic downtown of Penang. Since Cassie was pooped she sat outside while I ventured in to take a few photos. I was quickly befriended by a practioner who preceded to convert me to muslim. Since he denied me a portrait, I denied him my conversion. He was very friendly, and showed me key rituals, explained why certain things were done, and in what order. I left with around 5 pamphlets explaining muslim, and confirming that muslim does not mean terrorism.
