Muslim children tend to do this when learning to recite the Qur'an in their Qur'anic classes. This has nothing to do with religious practice and is more likely a result of the rhythmic verses that the children are reading which makes them rock back and forth as they learn. Also it should be noted that this is more common in south asian countries and may not be as common amongst the children of the Arab world or Africa. Hope this helps.

I know very little about your faith and my knowledge is limited to the few books I have read and the rare occasions that I have spoken with Mormons. One aspect that has come up and confused me is the Church's position on Black people, which I know has been amended in the last 30 years or so. From what I know the Book of Mormon is a collection of stories about the people of the Americas who were visited by Christ. Where these people not indegenous peoples, would it not be fair to say that they were more like Black people than White? Why therefore were Black people demonized for so long by the Church and it's followers? Can these principles really be changed, or is it a case of the Church bowing to political corrrectness but do most Mormons believe that Black people are evil? If my comments have come across as ignorant or offensive they I humbly apologize, it was not my intention. I am just genuinely interested to know what you all think and to increase my knowledge. Thank you.
