It starts tomorrow. What’s it like for the Brits? I believe that it is illegal to eat in public in Britain in the daytime during Ramadan.

I know a Muslim woman who used to observe Ramadan while running her cafe.

There are posters around that defend Islam, yet most of these I see as left wing fundies and are promoting tolerance for it.
When Islam is discussed on any platform, the defense is usually from a despised stance, or a condescending acceptance one. Twitter, one may find Islamic followers.

Well I've just run across posters whose family are from Middle Eastern countries and Pakistan who were probably Muslim but never really talked about it. I dunno, lets ask @jilltheoneandonly and Zyklon B if they're Muslim.
It's just like I'm baptized Christian but I'm not religious.

If you mean me, I don’t defend Islam, I just don’t think all Muslims are evil and the Christian’s natural born enemy the way you Medievalists do. Islam is a false consciousness no different than Christianity. And leave the body count argument, both religions make “good” people do evil things.

It's just like I'm baptized Christian but I'm not religious. If there are members from Muslim families on these forums, they would be a very very small minority and like you say, may not discuss it due to negative stigma associated with Islam. I haven't come across any, apart from the aforementioned Twitter feeds.

No, not all Muslims are evil, but the religion they follow is very questionable and the beliefs downright deluded and toxic. The conditioning of this religion, especially the patriarchal notions surrounding it, and the treatment of females and homosexuals is disgusting.

The conditioning of this religion, especially the patriarchal notions surrounding it, and the treatment of females and homosexuals is disgusting. So is Christianity. Both are total myths, both teach a toxic message. One is more civilized because it’s forced to exist under secular jurisdiction. Keep in the mind the Catholic Church still treat their female communicants unworthy to fully serve God as a priest. It’s not violence, but definitely a put down of and insult to women.

I agree Christianity has its fair share of issues, but as you mention, due to secular jurisdiction, it has lost its control over others. It is about choice now, (well if not forced onto children), Islam is still harsh, due to need to control this religious belief in more extreme and fundamental measures.
If I was forced to choose, I would claim Christianity.

I don't really care. Just proving my point.

I've known a few Muslims who refused to fast because they thought it was too unbearable. Isn't it good for your health, though?
