Actually, Korean Buddhists pray in a similar fashion too.

You're talking about a silly pyramid handsign thrown at a music concert. Most likely some Rockafella Artist.
What do you have to say about the Hamsa in Muslim countries? LOL
Peace Zapatista,
'Hamsa' is a sign/symbol use of which is prohibited in Islamic counties i.e. in Arab countries. Some other country use it as 'stop' sign whereas arab Islamic countries use any other sign i.e. text for 'stop'.
look pal, here is my issue. you want info on a certain ancient religion, but you want to see it as a subset of islam, which came 3000 years later. it is fine if you can at least present any form of physical evidence to back this claim, but you have nothing.
Peace queer,
Subset I said in sense that 'there is only One and Unique God'. The followers of monotheism believed that there is no deity to worship except "Only One God". That is what religion of Islam teach to worship only one true God and none others. The Pagans of arabs wasn't denier from 'onness' but they don't wants to leave the idol worshipping b'coz of their forefather or whatsoever reasons which only benefits for this worldly affairs.

Prohibited in Arab countries? Hmm OK. Could you please back that statement with some facts please? I couldn't find anything about the ban in arab countries myself, so could you please post a link for me to read? Thanks!

Yet there should be no surprise since we believe that all people have received their fair share of prophets in the past … However, just look at who the prostration is being done towards - in the three example shardmanny and I posted in each case the target of that prostration is the unseen Diety. Our connection goes back to more than history - the Islamic way goes right to the roots of the human psyche telling us inherently that the positions of prayer are encoded in to our design function and deep spiritual programming. Some people arrive at versions of it either by adulterating the form given to them by their own prophets or through meditative techniques - but we separate from them in matters that they separated from … such as the idea in Buddhism that there is no such Deity that exists, but the circular worship of one another.
