Students asked not to eat smelly food in library to respect peers observing Ramadan

A whiteboard message at Oregon State University’s library asks students to try to avoid eating foods, especially smelly foods, in shared spaces to be considerate of those who are observing Ramadan.

The Muslim holy month this year runs from about May 15 to June 14. During this period, Muslims are obligated to fast from dawn until sunset. Presumably, the sign was made to encourage non-observers to not eat foods with strong smells because it would make Muslim students’ hunger worse, or that it might be disrespectful.

It is not unheard of for a university to work with Muslim students during this time.

During last year’s Ramadan, three University of Washington professors offered special exam times for those observing the tradition. The professors held their tests later at night to give the observers a chance to eat before taking their tests.

Everybody order delicious pork pizzas with bacon piled on top.

Enjoy them at the library.

Be sure to bring revolving fans so that the scent will be blown in all directions.

Absolutely ‘nutnin’ beats the smell of bacon cooking outdoors on a brisk, beautiful morning! Doubled over from hunger pains, ‘nutnin’ tastes as good, either.

Jews dont demand that Christians or people of any other religion to comply with Jewish religious practices.

Christians dont demand Jews or people of any other religion to comply with Christian religious practices.

Muslims demand that people of all other religions comply with their religious practices. That’s why they are so despicable and incompatible with Western Civilization.

I remember practical jokes by placing Limburger cheese in desks of people being picked on. It is the worst smelling stuff! I do not understand how anyone can actually eat it.
