See I was right about the extra spritual lifting you get during ramadan..

And also, it is glorifying ´the fasting´ to me..

And that is  wrong!!!!!

Possibly no washing of blood cells in reality..

It is all in your head..

Eating after a long time not eating woulf give the same joy..It is not related to religious activity at all..You can be AE, believe in pasta monster, starve yourself 15 hours and then  eat , you get the same feeling basically.

Basically, do not forget the damage fasting might be causing to your internal organs..

(And also actually, with this spritiuality it is hard to see these people will stop  childeren of 13-14-15 years old from fasting when those kids  say they want to fast..Becasue they will feel obliged to fast with that glorifying feeling around them)

 Haaaa, haaaa, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lolllllllllllllll

Ohhhh, handsom, you couldnt resist lol

Ý knew it lollllllllll

Even you said you will stop, but you couldnt... lollllllll

And i knew it lollllllllllll

That post actually was dedicated to you lol

You cant stand it, even i am muslim myself, and im fasting now too, and im saying im enjoying it, and loveing it, and how its related of cource to my religion..islam

STÝLL, you deny it lollllllllll

You DARE to deny me what i feel in order to correct the wrong in  glorifying ´the fasting lollllllllll

Even you try to redirect the issue about children now so we start another debat about it, and you try your best to attack it lol

Nope, not now...im enjoying the glory of my Ýslam now, manybe later when i have more time for fighting after Ýftar , reading Quran, and maybe also praying Teravih too

Ohhh Man, accept it

Our Ýslam is our glory to us...like it or not lolllllllllllllllllllll

And i will dedicate the post for you lol

 But you dont fast till specific time of the day, right ?!

Ý mean what i understand, you dont eat some sort of food, and you cook your food with oil not with butter or alike

And that would be for 40 days or something, yes ?!

Totally agree

So many lols Canli..i THINK It is much related to your blood sugar level.. 

As you know, all your glory is in your head..

And I am not attacking you..I can assure you

What I am saying is that you are glorifying fasting.

And in my blief IT IS WRONG!!!

What do you mean I can not stand it? of course after all those years I can..

But it does not look like you used to someone coming up and saying ´IT IS WRONG´ to you..

Well anyway...

I hope you are keeping your kids away from this..

You keep feeling uplifted while i keep saying that ´it is wrong and the feelings you have are just in your head..You can have the same feelings with other drugs or group theraphy´

Yes actually handsom, and im still laughing too lol

Ohhh boy you REALLY cant stand it lol

Dont worry about my blood sugar level, im healthy and strong elhamdülillah, i can fast .

Ýt doesnt effect us, but sure it effect people who couldnt take it lolll

Ýts MY head, and its MY glory and its MY religion, what is YOUR problem then ?! lol

We are talking about Fasting in Ramadan in Ýslam faith, and you say its wrong in your belief, what belief if i may ask ?

Anti Ýslam belief ?! lol

Sure thats what it seems!

And no, you cant stand it, you cant stand having people proud of their religion, Ýslam and holding tight on it and see it their glory

You keep talking and repeating yourself about freedom, human rights..bla bla ...etc

But when it comes to Ýslam you wipe all of this...the issue to you that Muslims should stop believing in Ýslam, and how can we corrupt it by reforming it.

Anything...but the main thing is...we stop believing in it...!

Didnt i tell you, that you had your choice...let us having ours and dont try to impose your guardianship over us

We are not kids, and we are smart, intelligent, have minds and able to use them AND we choose to be muslims still

Just accept it !

And have i told you that i have kids so you worry about them ?!

Let´s worry about our kids and you worry about yours.

Or do you want to convert our kids in order be bring them up properly as non muslims ?!!!

And ohhhh, Ý will pick the fasting to enjoy those feelings and will leave  drugs and group theraphy to you !

 Btw, that was low !

Ý didnt force you to believe in my religion, so you SHOULD respect my choice in believing in it !

And not compare it to having drugs !

Ým not mentally ill handsom !

....I don´t think you got what I meant at all  

.....and neither did  you 

....clearly my career as a stand-up comedian(ienne) is over before it started  

Glad to hear that!

I have to agree with you here.  Every health expert I have encountered promotes either 3 balanced meals or 5 small meals a day.  I understand the spirtuality aspect of it since Catholics also give up meat on Fridays through Lent and occassionaly fast.  But times have changed and over the years fasting is not a mandated practice of our faith, it´s more free will for those who find spirtuality in it.  The only thing I have ever taken away from it..is the appreciation to have food.  Mabye there is more to it!

I can understand how this could be dangerous for some people, even those who aren´t aware they could have an underlying medical condition.  That´s why it should only be for those who volunteer but not mandated as part of their faith.

It actually sounds funny to me to read about fasting while it is not really fasting but waiting for a huge meal. I don´t mean to insult anybody but if Ramadan was about living on bread and water it would make more sense. Yet it is not eating or drinking anything all day long and making up for it in the evening. It makes as little sense as not eating meat on Fridays that Christians do. How on Earth is it supposed to bring you closer to God? Is your rumbling stomach God´s favourite tune? I think the idea is great, I mean, if you feel hunger you´re more likely to understand people who can´t afford food. Still, the fact that your fast lasts some 12 hours ridicules their pain.

Anyway, I don´t understand strong objections some members have here about Ramadan - since it´s entirely up to you whether you want to fast or not, what´s the problem? As for children, well, if their parents are so stupid that they risk not starvation but dehydration, it means the parents are fools, not that the whole fasting idea is stupid. Nobody healthy will die of not eating for 12 hours...If you have a condition you don´t know about you´ll likely discover it and go to hospital. It´s not 7th century

To fast or not to fast? - Big Ado About Nothing

Not attacking, not hating, just a few questions that I´ve got during the many years I am a teacher with 60% Muslim students now:

1. Diabetics do not HAVE to fast, but I know several who do. Partly out of ignorance, they simply don´t believe what the (Western!) doctor says, partly because of ´social pressure´ - everyone around them fasts so they say they feel like ´outcasts´ if they don´t. Why this pressure, why this not believing the doctor?

2. Children are forced (!!) by their parents to fast. I have at least 3 students with young children who have to fast, girls from the age of 9 and boys from 14. Children at that age have not matured, it can´t be healthy for them. Besides, is force allowed? I bet not.

3. I´ve been told that fasting should be like a sacrifice, feeling what less fortunate people have all life for just 28/29 days a year. Half of my Muslim students take a holiday, are not working, not going to school during Ramazan because ´it is too hard to do´. What sacrifice? What compassion?

4. A few (happily a minority) of my students refuse to come to school because we have coffee/tea breaks during 3 hour class and they expect all of us to give that up because they are fasting. (All of us = Catholic, Protestant, Hindu, Agnost and Atheist students/teachers).

I´m not making this up, this is what has happened/happens each year. Anyone who can explain?
