KwarK edits: It appears people cannot resist taking a thread about a religious festival that a large percentage of the population of Earth enjoy and using it to bash on a religion. That in turn compels people to respond which just further derails. Please remain on topic. | ||

Zakah is a wonderful concept. To purify and grow as a population rather than individual efforts is very important. Clearly some Muslims are much more hard-core than others; I am holding july's national geographic showing a picture of a shiite man and the caption reads: a shiite man in Lahore whips himself with blades in a ritual that simbolizes the suffering of Muhammad's grandson Husayn. NSFW bloody pics of these shiite man whipping themselves. They do it to express their collective guilt; when Husayn was suffering, they never came to his aid.+ Show Spoiler + Is the main difference between Shia and Sunni political? | ||

Even the locals which see it happen every year look horrified, some even look like they are going to pass out x.x I don't see any Christians showing this much remorse ever, but let's not get into that ^^ heehee | ||

I had to starve for 28 hours for something medical related and it was hell. | ||

Fasting is hardly any worse than some of the crap diets and lack of exercise that many gamers have. Those cans of coke you drink on a regular basis and lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet are probably a lot worse for you than fasting could ever be. Given how many boxers and other athletes take part in Ramadan and can still perform at the top level I'd say it can't be that bad for your health, obviously it's not ideal but who the hell is reading this and has the ideal diet and exercise regime anyway? | ||

I am not a bad person, I am just very non-religous and prefer facts. But I will keep my mouth shut... Have fun with your ramadan and don't get too carried away. | ||

Hope you guys have a good month and dont do the mistake all the people in my last class did (they were about 50% muslims, I live in a very multicultured area) and just eat a lot of fat and easy to make food when the sun sets! | ||
