The Washington Post Wants You to Fast for Ramadan
PJ Media ^ | May 4, 2020 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 05/04/2020 1:13:23 PM PDT by C19fan

The far-Left anti-Trump propaganda organ masquerading as a news source and operating under the name the Washington Post on Thursday published an inspiring op-ed entitled “As American Muslims fast this Ramadan, maybe the rest of America should consider joining in.” The Post’s articles exhorting people to keep the Lenten fast or the Yom Kippur fast have not yet been published, but I’m sure that they will be when the appropriate times for them roll around again.

I can’t seem to ever get them to stay lit. Which end works best?

Why no suggestion to have mulsims celibrate Christmas, Passover or any other holiday from a different religion.

Whenever I read stories like this, I wonder how many times they were dropped on their head as a baby.

I already fasted. Now, I’m celebrating the Resurrection of the King of Kings. It’s party city for 50 days! Pork sounds nice...

Gee, I never heard anyone request that Muslims follow Lenten sacrifices during Easter or how about Jewish Shabbat?

Just another opportunity for these liberal hacks to prove how sophisticated they think they are.

Sliced ham for everyone--after sundown, of course.

One year I was in S.A. during the Ramadan... The folks there slept during the day and feasted/partied during the night... Was an eye opener...

“I never heard anyone request that Muslims follow Lenten sacrifices during Easter”


A few years ago I read a story that described the Lenten sacrifices as a kind of ‘Christian Ramadan’.

It's beyond obvious that the left deeply desires that the bulk of humanity become muslims.

Easily cowed, do whatever religious authorities demand, oppress women as a matter of course, etc.

The left sees how easily muslims do what they're told and having all of us subscribe to their nonsense is a definite goal that they seem to believe is attainable.

FU WP!

Consider it. Not such a bad deal. The gorge themselves for breakfast then really, really gorge for dinner. No sacrifice or hardship at all.

May have to fast because of food shortages thanks to Dr Death Fauci
and The Scarf Birx.

We can want all kinds of things. For example, I’d like the WaPo to cease to exist.
