Cleanliness is part of Godliness with the Turk No matter how black his sins no good Moslem would think of entering the mosque for prayer without having made his ablutions. Outside each place of worship is a trough where each washes his feet before entering the church for prayer. This foot bath is just outside the mosque on the island of Proti where close to a thousand Russian refugees are being cared for by the American Red Cross.
