Yup it is that time of the year! When Muslims keep fast for the entire month from sunrise to sunset.

i feel bad for them, no food for 12 hours

They do it for God

im catholic and i have a great respect for muslims wen they fast for so long.. and i learned the girls start at 11-12 and the boys at 16-17 wat is that?!?!?! i go to school with quite a few muslims and they have to sit there and watch all the girls in my school eat like pigs while they just sit there... i feel bad

if it was my religion i would do it 2

yes, i know, but alot of people, if they were muslum, wouldnt be able to go with out food for so long

Should it really be "Happy Ramadan"? Can't really see anyone looking forward to it

Yes in fact. People DO because as a reward, at the end of the month they celebrate 'Eid'. This is when as a reward for excersing patience at the will of God they get to celebrate, buy new clothes hold parties and socialize all day long!
I quite like this purpose for fasting.It promotes self discipline and patience.Plus it's healthy too!

We didn't learn that in religious ed... stupid teacher is always comparing other religions to christianity

Happy Ramadan to you to

indeed some of my mates are Muslims. And sometimes you do feel guilty for eating in front of them thats why i try not to

I kno a lot of turks who fast; but i dont really get the point. I dont want to insult their religion and all, but it doesnt seem very healthy to me. I mean, suffer for some imaginary entity ?

Anyway, Happy Ramadan to those who do it.

Fasting is dumb.

"I'm not eating for god."

Who cares?

^ Exactly my point

I bet gods up there like "dude, I don't care if you eat, go have a damn burger you fools."

^

Its supposed to show self-control and self-discipline.

But doing it every year for a month? Thats too much...

Happy Ramadan everyne who celebrates Hope you get lots of presents!

Thats Eid, lil. Thats after Ramadan.

.sorry but that was actually funny. Kind of Hale and Pace

Sorro.

Nothing to be sorry about!

I hope muslims arent offended or anything, i have so many muslim friends, i should have known this

I don't think so. Possibly Bin Ladin, but who gives a crap?

So because they hadnt eaten for a month, as a reward they are allowed to go out and spend money?

If you cant eat from dawn till dusk, take a month off work, and become nocturnal

Actually, if you want to cover all the holiday greetings and thus leave NEARLY no one out, try this. It includes Ramadan, Hannukah, Kwanzaa and Christmas.

Happy RamaHanaKwanzMas !

Or just use Frank Costanza's greeting. Happy Festivus !!

Nice! I'll use that in the future.

Happy Ramadan to those that fast !
As for the other discussions with silly conotations, I would like just to add, that religion is a choice. Personally i don't agree with a religion being imposed to a child, it has to wait untill at least 18 years so one could choose. But, even this way ppl choose when they become adults whether to continue the religiouse tradition or NOT. Muslims that fast, they do it because they want to, its something that shows their links with the rest of the group! So theres nothing scary in that. Even in the chrisitanity there are some hard fasts, another thing is that very few ppl respect it, and thats a choice also. As for being healthy or not, it has proven that is very healthy cause it purifiels the body and the spirit.

So to all muslims on kmc I wish u all the best for Ramadan and for eid
Cheers.
uni
