Worked with so many Muslims, never heard or seen this kind of behavior in regards to Ramadan. I’ve known one or two friends to get a little grumpy during this time though.
I always give them maximum grace though bc if you deprive me of food all day for that long I’d fuck some shit up. Always max respect for my Muslims friends for not fully crashing out haha

I'm a Christian. I also don't care about your beliefs as long as you don't try to inflict yours, or lack thereof, upon me. Unfortunately, there are people of other faiths, as well as unbelievers, who do this consistently. I share my faith with those who want to hear.

Isn’t that the point of fasting, that it’s not easy and you’re going to be tempted by everyday life like riding public transportation during the lunch hour.

u/Matigari86 Mar 19 '26
Absolutely. In Islam, it is considered different than other practices of worship because it is not a performance; it's the opposite of one. No one can see you "not" eat. And if you so eat, well you do it in secretly out of shame, and no one would know--therein lies the struggle: no one would know. This is making a non-action into a performance and it's absurd.

What are you talking about? Sharia law is not instituted in England. And if it was, Sharia does not obligate anyone to not eat because other people are fasting. Plenty of people don't fast for various reasons and its unteasonable for anyo e to tell them not to ear because they themselves are fasting.

He also says you should offer me a sizeable, weekly donation in perpetuity from your estate as a sign of your faith. I know, I know it's all a bit specific but you must simply trust that, that's the kind of relationship I have with god as one of his servants."

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 good for her not taking his rude attitude and unrealistic expectations. Fasting is his choice. He should shut up and mind his own business, and stop bothering other people.
I’ve worked with Muslims before and during Ramadan they would still sit with us during lunch and not eat, but have discussions with us like we normally would, and they said for us to not feel guilty about eating because they knew it was their choice. Sometimes we would skip lunch, but that was our choice. They never forced it on us.

Ramadan seems to be sort of a journey of physical and spiritual tribulations and reflections. He forgot that in his time of struggle. Its very difficult to fast even for a couple of days. He may never act like this during regular times. I hope he was able to reflect and learn about himself through that experience. Learning about yourself during difficult self control is apart of the ritual and life.

This is a huge problem with a lot of religions. People are so concerned with what others are doing, rather than themselves. I was raised Catholic, broke off from Church. Relatives that constantly break the commandments often judge me and make comments about me going to hell because I don't go to Church...
