Darth, Is That You?

One of the great joys and blessings of living in a Muslim country is hearing the call to prayer, the adhan, 5 times a day. There are some mornings when, tired and sleepy, I admit that the pre-dawn call to fajr is not so enthusiastically received. But one morning was different.

One morning I awoke.  I listened,  and I smiled.


There was a substitute for the regular muezzin who always makes the call to prayer. On one single morning,  it sounded as if Darth Vader was calling me to worship Allah.  How could I refuse?
