No, it's not like that at all. This was already covered earlier in this thread.

16 hours aint that much.. have fun having traditions they are what moves society and brings them together. Its a shame people in the USA will always have that bias towards Muslims because most of the Muslims i have met were great people and they treated me very good and very kindly. I went to Morocco on vacation and everybody was very friendly and kind. I personally disagree with some of the segregation parts of the Muslim faith but to each their own. Enjoy the family/friends gatherings thats what its all about...

Happy Ramadan People ^^

I'm a Palestinian Muslim, born and raised in the US. It can be hard at times, but it's more than doable and really in the end, it's fun. I'm a girl and so when that time of the month comes around, the religion says I cant fast because of all the nutrients you lose and such during that time. So, from my experience of the times I cant fast, I feel like I'm missing out D= It's just part of the tradition and really it just puts everyone in a different mood for the whole month. Everyone's all about have dinner parties with the best food and seeing people you havent seen all year. This year, my friends and I are even planning to go out for breakfast in the early mornings before fasting starts. While the days are longer in the summer, I like that I'm on break from school for once during this month. I get more time to join in the festivities.

As for what some people have said about some muslims not fasting, as much as it breaks my heart, it's just about how people choose to follow their religion. Yes, it is a required part of the religion, but that's just how some people roll I guess. I've never viewed fasting as a 'hardcore' muslim thing because I know muslims who tend to break every rule in the book, but when Ramadan comes around, they fast. I encourage any non-fasting muslim to try it out for a few days. Yes, it's hard at first, but you get the hang of it after a while. If you do want to get into it, but find it too hard, now is a good time to start practicing. When I was a kid, I wouldnt fast everyday, but eventually I worked my way up to the full month.

For the same reason that every other religion has parties and festivals. Most Jews around the world celebrate Hanukah (extremely minor holiday) instead of Purim, and the only reason Christmas exists when it does is because the early leaders needed a celebration to compete with the Roman holiday Saturnelia, in order to recruit. I'm sure in many countries/areas, belief/faith still comes first but in contemporary Turkey/Lebanon, etc. it's a celebration first for most people.

i have kind of a grammatical question... i was talking with my mother today about the word muslim, and what it exactly means. i did a quick google search and it said 'A Muslim or Moslem is an adherent of the religion of Islam', but isnt that kinda the same as saying islamic? i'm reminded of a funny seinfeld scene where george goes on about netherlands,holland, and the dutch

Pretty much this. I guess when I talk about it to other people, i tend to focus on how much I enjoy the religious activity. Islam encourages doing religious activities in groups. The dinner parties are part of religious tradition also because we are encouraged to be generous during this month (and of course all other times too) and we're rewarded for breaking someone's fast. Mosques hold nightly prayers after and before fasting throughout the month that Muslims do consider to be a part of the festivities.

fasting would make me far too hungry and thirsty, and i dont gain anything from doing it so its a big PASS for me.i like to drink water constantly throughout the day and i like to exercise, i dont see how someone could engage in intense exercise and not have any water during sun up

Posting threads like that will just create trouble caused by ignorant people, intellectual and otherwise. It's a shame but that's the world we live in currently within the west.

But good job on everyone trying to learn something and to show understanding :D I'm not a muslim but my nephew is and he is white like me and young too.

People are too "outwards" like the poster above me. Yes he has a point, but does he understand why people fast? no.

Not to say that's bad.

fasting would make me far too hungry and thirsty, and i dont gain anything from doing it so its a big PASS for me.


When you understand how the world is so backwards you start to realise that among many other things being self centered in any form is a big factor of human emotions which in turn stops us from loving one and other and helping one and other because wait, I need a house and a car , then maybe i'll send some money to charity after my government has bombed it to shit.

Islam teaches you in essence how to live a good life, forget extremists and bin laden that's all monkey business created by >>insert conspiracy here<<. Hopefully I don't offend anyone by making my assumptions while not being a practising muslim.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

i dont really give a fuck why people fast, chief

it will do nothing to benefit me (in fact, itll make my life worse) so that's why I'M not gonna do it

if you are making the assumption that i dont fast because its something to do with materiality, then you're a dolt. not drinking water between sun up and sun set is bad for my body and itll make me feel terrible

That's your prerogative, no assumptions.

I am however making the assumption that based on your belief fasting is stupid because its not healthy and as you said, you don't gain anything. Is in fact thinking about survival and ignoring anything else which it might be accustom towards.

Whether you want to do it or not that's up to you, I don't either.

so that's it? fasting for you is over now in all aspects because it will make you feel bad? do you even...wait fuck it...

Because your small mind is worried about food/water than the bigger picture.

And yet your posting in a thread celebrating fasting.

And I'm a the dork for saying you are wrong to think that.

Lol fuck right off.

You did make the mistake of saying fuck off. If you didnt say that, you wouldn't be banned. It is two weeks because you already have two temps and a warning.

That and I want to kill you, grind up your tusk and sell it to the Chinese as an aphrodisiac.
