The prayer mat fabrication is not only in the local villages, but has become an international industry as well. Europe also produces this important products. Now with the interruption of supply chains as seen with the walking-talkies and the beep beepers, also the prayer mat industry is taking precaution. Improving their quality control of shipping and trying to ensure that the mats are not laced with explosives, that could be disastrous, in that the mats are rather large in area, and can hold these unintended materials. Jihadis are instructing as well their rank and file to use cardboard instead of the shipped mats. Precaution is very important.
