Do you celebrate Ramadan?

Don't feed the trolls. Happy Ramadan to everyone celebrating.

 

No sir. I'm not muslim. I am baptist christian.

 

No, I don't celebrate it.

I used to think it was a trend in elementary school. I always wondered why foreign kids would be sitting in the library during lunch.

 

I do sir, i am a muslim.

 

It is demanded of muslims to force themselves to physically suffer , worsen their health and in return they learn patience, humility, and spirituality? What a piece of shit holiday.

 

I am muslim and thats pretty offensive. It's not like I'm coming out and saying Hanukah and Christmas and all those other holidays are piece of shit holidays...

I am fasting.

 

Don't call the offence card -- he's allowed to say it regardless of your prejudices. Also, Hannukkah and Christmas have more healthy trends than the opposition of health presented by Ramadan.

 

The thing is Christians and Jews celebrate their holidays, they don't make it miserable through self suffering like Muslims do.

 

Sorry I don't remember talking to you?

Define celebration.

 

Go on google, and type "define: celebration" and ta-dah, you're done.

One of many:
"# a joyful occasion for special festivities to mark some happy event "

 

No wonder they want to kill themselves and take others with them.

 

Exactly. It's joyous for us. Does health or any other thing you stated come into the definition of celebration? No.

You my friend are ignorant.

 

How do you find starving yourself joyful?
Why do you only starve yourself during this "holiday" if it is as "joyful" as you say?

You "random person" are ignorant. (As I'm not "your friend")

 

How is torturing yourself joyous for you?

As are you. Why would you worship a deity who forces you to cause yourself bodily harm and wishes DEATH upon anyone who doesn't follow your belief?

 

Please show me where it says that Muslims wish death upon everyone who don't follow their belief?

 

I personally don't believe in any religions, so I don't celebrate Ramadan. However, I think it's important to respect the views of other people, so I think people can believe what they think is right for them.

And Dustein, aren't you going a bit too far with your post? They are not exactly forced to participate in Ramadan and fast, because they have their own free will as well.

 

I can't find the verse that says that exactly, but I've found multiple that mention killing men of other religions (Mostly Jews).

Tabari VII:97 "The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, 'Kill any Jew who falls under your power.'"

Bukhari:V1B1N6 "Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country."

etc.

 

Is this a direct translation? If so, then that looks like so religious hatred going on. Why does everyone hate the Jews ::laugh:

 

Where did you find this.

 

You're an idiot. Many Jewish holidays involve fasting.
