Christians aren't the only ones who get gadget happy.
"The selling of devices for reciting the rosary, a compass showing the direction of Mecca, a clock that plays azan and another device for memorizing the Koran are proving very popular in Konya. Over the last six years, these devices have sold six times more than traditional books for learning namaz and the Koran.
The electronic devices, which are made in China, are being sold in practically all gift shops in Konya and the six months running up to the annual pilgrimage to Mecca sales exploded."
"Our religion allows development. The way of praying is not important, the important thing is, if it is performed or not. These devices are good if they help generalize praying."
