They better screen them on the way back. There’s also a MRSA-like virus going around in the M.E. I’d be concerned about that as well.
"Everybody loves Ramadan"
There is an ounce of truth here.
When I was in Jordan many years ago I could not avoid noticing the actions of the wealthy Jordanians during Ramadan. They flew to London for a Western style vacation. Smart.
Meanwhile, non-Moslem passengers will continue to have their
genitals inspected and photographed and shared, of course.
Especially, innocent American children.
In a few weeks, we can celebrate with the Mid-Ramadan barbeque and pig roast.
Boo yah! I think every Freeper should have one.
I observe ramadan by tossing handfuls of crumbled bacon around and spritzing the air around me with a spray bottle of bacon fat. I insist the TSA and the general public accommodate me in my religious observations or ill be forced to behead someone. It’s for my god you understand and my god is more important than yours is.
Both affect brain chemistry. About the same thing to me.
Years ago I worked for a company with large overseas projects. Our marketing folks would try to avoid going to Middle East Muslim countries during Ramadan because the Muslims with whom they had to meet were in a bad humor during the day because 1) they stayed up late at night stuffing themselves with food and drink, and 2) because they were unable to eat or drink during the day. As a result, far less was accomplished in the meetings.
Also, they found that the “senior” executives found it convenient to take their vacations during Ramadan. Those vacations were to Europe and other non-Muslim areas of the world.
I wonder what would happen if someone sitting next to one of these passengers had brought a bacon sandwich to eat during flight and accidently dropped it on him? Would that be a hate crime?
Wow, how sad for you.
I believe it plus lots of Muslim guys smoke like chimneys and deprived of cigarettes during the Ramadan daytime hours..... They are in a pissed off or worse mood
Ramadan is a month that nothing gets done in the Muslim world. Nothing important
Agreed :) Not all religions are evil, but some are ; Moloch, thuggee-cult, islam, aztec religion etc...
Ultimately a religion is defined by its teachings. And there there is no comparison between Christianity and most others. Everything that Christianity teaches islam turns on its head.
Do you think some allah is listening to these guys’ prayers and helping them out?
I do not believe that prayers to false gods get answered. I know that prayers to the one true God get answered. Not always as we want, but they get answered.
Muslims can recite the Koran and whisper prayers during plane rides? What? This is completely unacceptable. Even forgetting for a minute about the violent, totalitarian ideology that is Islam and our government’s attempt to install it here, it would be extremely annoying to be seated next to someone whispering prayers or reciting anything for hours during a plane ride.
“Same with all rituals in all religions...”
That you ascribe to no faith is no basis to denigrate all faiths. Your broad-brush assertion serves only to suggest that you are not so irreligious as you are ANTI-religious; it heralds that your view of religion is less like personal indifference to religion, and more like active bigotry.
These people will say the exact same about your religion though. That it is false and only theirs are answered. In the meanwhile, the only real changes that happen are in brain chemistry. I don’t know if there’s a God or not, but I don’t think He’d be persuaded by rituals or whatever.
