I am very thankful that the voices of Christians against Islam are on the rise. Unfortunately there are also Christians who are disrespecting Christianity, by fasting for Ramadan. "Christians" like this who live in fantasy land and ignore the plight of Christians in Islamic countries are part of the problem.

The problem is that Christians forget we already have a season to fast, it is called “Lent”.
Will Muslims fast for Lent?
Fasting IS an integral part of Christianity. We fast from our passions, as well as certain types of foods. These so-called Christians need to only look back into Christian history to discover how Christians fast. Ask any Orthodox Christian!
>>Here is a pastor who wants to understand us, who does not want to convert us,
Has that Pastor ever read the Bible? Does he not believe the words of Christ? If there is only one way to God and it is through Him, then not wanting to convert the Muslim is abandoning his soul. That’s not a very nice thing to do!
>>Will Muslims fast for Lent?
Probably not. That would be like asking them to convert. Muslim-Christian tolerance is a one-way street.
Stand for your faith because if you have no limits, you have no standards.
Islam is a death cult and no Christian should make common cause with it. Picture the Reverend Billy Graham sharing the stage with the ‘Reverend’ Jim Jones and his ‘Peoples Temple’.
Get the picture?
With Obama bent on destroying this nation, I think he wants to throw out the Constitution for Sharia law and then we here in America as Christians will face persecution...
No better time for a Christian to fast than during Ramadan.
Since long periods of prayer will typically occupy the time usually devoted to a meal ... we should be praying for the destruction of Islam everywhere in the world, for the evangelization of every Muslim nation, for the collapse of world support for this death cult, and for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
..Emerging Church in action...
I applaud your honesty.
It seems that Ann Coulter was correct.
A Christian who partakes in Ramadan (or some kind of respect of it) is an Anti-Christian!
Following Jesus' command, we are not to make a show of our fasting as Brian McLaren is doing.
"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly." - Matthew 6:16-18
Good mornin’.
Bump.
No follower of Christ fasts with muslims.
Ping for your comments.
Heretical.
