I lost my appetite thinking about the topic, does that count as fasting?
pig roast-—outside the mosque, lunchtime Friday.....
Nope.
Buy a big bucket of pork chops and chow down!
Short answer, no. Longer answer, hell no.

I think we should eat as much pork as possible during their fasting holiday.
Islam is not a religion. It is a political thang...
No.

What about giving up all non-pork, non-shellfish, and non-alcoholic products? Is that bad too?
I'm not quite sure that "HELL NO!!!!!" properly expresses it.
Not in a western country. On the contrary, they should pretend to eat so as not to offend me.
When I was working in Saudi, out of consideration for our relatively few muslim employees (including relatively few muslims with the client) we moved our break area down to another floor down a hall through an unmarked door. If you wanted to smoke or sip coffee thats where you went during that month, instead of sipping coffee at your desk or having a smoke at your desk.
As a result the breaks tended to be a little longer, we’d sit and talk and watch the world out the upper floor windows.
But in a western country, no. I’d never purposely offend a muslim colleague but I’m not going to remake my life just to please him. He knows he’s in a western country. He chose to be here, and unless he’s a jerk, he’s already accepted that. If he’s a jerk, I don’t care what he thinks anyway.
Breaking bread with followers of an antiChrist figure. Not merely an “alternate theology” but one that acknowledges the existence of Jesus and calling Him a holy man but denying His divinity, His death by crucifixion, and His resurrection all while the flock is led astray.
It’s one thing to say “I respect your right to follow whatever religion you want” and quite another to proclaim “we believe in the same God”.
Yes, I think Christians fasting during Ramadan is a good thing, BUT NOT WITH MUSLIMS. Fasting is a way to connect with God and receive special insight into God's desires for us. It may be a sort of countermeasure to the Muslim fast. Satan runs the faith of Mohammad. Their god is not the same as the Judeo-Christian God, so the fasting is going for two dichotomies.
Fried pork chop fast.
My favorite kind.
Absolutely NOT. Should Muslims convert to Christanity during Ramadam? YES. Next question.
I already do. I generally fast between about 10:00 p.m. and about 6:30 a.m. during Ramadan. Does that count???
Uh ... why would/should we?
I intend to eat more pork chops and bacon during Ramadan and to remind myself that Mohammedans follow a leader who was a thief, a murderer, and a pedophile.
