Their devotion to Allah and the committment to ones beliefs is what is special. Islam has a uniform way and they are united, as opposed to lazy chritians who usually pray just when in need. Christians have one tree but a million branches going in so many different directions that they cant even worship in the same church because they all pray just a little bit different or believe just a little bit different.
Muslims take the time everyday to give thanks to Allah as we are nothing without him.
