Well, there you have it. All this outrage is a bunch of camel crap. These athletes DO NOT HAVE TO OBSERVE RAMADAN. Which is most likely why this issue has never come up in the past.
Thats hilarious.

To me this only proves the hollowness of Islam. If it had any true susbstance it's adherents would treat this as an act of faith, and expect that their faithfulness would be rewarded with perhaps even better performance.
When you complain about everything, yet ignore the garbage in your own house, no one will ever listen.
Quote from Muslim in the article:
"They would not have organised this at Christmas. It is equally stupid to organise it at Ramadan."
It's the SUMMER OLYMPICS. SUMMER OLYMPICS. Since when is summer in December you moron?
Chariots of Fire was the first thing that came to my mind too.....well actually first I thought "Muslims are offended, cause it's a day that ends in "Y"".
Deport large numbers of them NOW, before they in effect control your government , Brits. This is WHAT THEY WANT/
A NINE YEAR OLD CAN SEE IT, unless they too have already been brainwashed. Apparently not a day is allowed to go by in which someone in the West, or some government,or some policy is not seen as committing some serious infraction against the Muslim leeches. I simply do NOT know how the British countenance this, though I have read all the explanations. It is a measure of the depth of Islamic dysfunctionality that they would even CONSIDER pulling this crap and making these demands, but it has now become THEIR WAY OF LIFE, and it is presented as the ONLY alternative to their more active demonstrations of outright violence, beheadings, bombings, etc.---all the stuff in their Jihadist toolbox. Remember the slogan "Tomorrow the World" ---It is now imprinted on tens if not hundreds of millions of Islamic minds.
I will repeat my point above, because I think it is a good one: the political pressure they are exerting here, with its explicit lecturing and hectoring about "insensitivity", is being presented as THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE MEDICINE THE WEST WILL GET, SO THE WEST BETTER SWALLOW IT NOW.......the not-so-subtle implication (to me) , but apparently invisible to most others IS that:
YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF IF WE DON'T GET OUR WAY.
SO-----once again, the equation reads "SUBMIT---OR DIE."
I think such an article was posted.
On April 1st.
Pic officially stolen.
It seems accurate.
Did Sandy demand that MLB delay the first game of the World Series to avoid Yom Kippur? That is the equivalent here, except Jews get no exemption for "traveling or sport" as do Muslims for Ramadan.
...but life doesn't stop for Muslims during Ramadan even though they are fasting.
That is too early in the winter season; not enough snow on the ground then.
Will "being offended" be an official event in the 2012 games?
Let 'em eat cake.
I wonder if I can riot when Lent conflicts with St Patricks Day.
