One of my childhood friends was a muslim. Two things that I remember distinctly:
1) He told me that he was playing with matches one day and threw a couple at his sister (lit). She told his father. The father told my friend that if he did it again, he would cut off my friend's hand. Yes, that's part of the muslim "tradition".
2) During an assembly in 5th grade, my friend passed out and fell on some bleachers and banged his head hard. Turns out he passed out due to hunger. It was Ramadan and he had to fast all day. He was 11.
And I've known quite a few other muslims since then.
