			The Dom people tend to adopt the dominant religion of their host country. For the Middle Eastern countries this
			means Islam. To find Dom on the annual pilgrimage to Mecca is not unusual. While there are some devote Muslims
			among the Dom, the majority are only nominal Muslims. They consider religion a personal matter and are hesitant
			to talk about it with anyone. Superstition and "the good elements" of many religious systems inform the
			syncretistic nature of their beliefs. Spiritism is dominant in their thinking regarding why things happen in the
			world. The fear of possession and cursing is strongly held. Nawar fortune-tellers commonly offer to make their
			clients a potion that will ward him or her against curses.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DFC329B8-E61B-4310-A201-60DE271D8F8E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
