What is different about Christianity, then?
You're implying as if Muslims do not love Allah or their religion, and merely uttering words without feelings, which is not necessarily true because words and faith can be compatible.
It follows that if you follow the text strictly without wanting the meaning, then your observance is empty.
If you're saying that to follow Allah you must replicate exactly the words of the Quran and ignore true observance then you aren't honouring Allah.
@ Rhythm: Did you notice that you sacrifice to Allah where God is sacrificed to you?
