Sermons in churches, mosques should be lively enough to arouse interest

Every Friday, millions of Muslims sit in mosques listening to the Iman giving his Friday sermon. Very often I watch my fellow worshippers and see the sheer boredom on their faces.

I see the same boredom in church. Christians are fortunate that they have song and dance as part of worship, but that is forbidden in the mosque.
