BANGOR, Maine Members of the Muslim community came together Sunday morning to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting.
More than 100 men, women and children gathered at Spectacular Events on Griffin Road because their mosque in Orono is not large enough to accommodate such a large crowd.
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, the congregation prayed in Arabic. Laa ilaaha illa Allah. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Walillaahil hamd.
Allah is the most great, Allah is the most great, is how the prayer translates into English, according to Ahmed Abdelmajeed of Bangor, who led the service. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is the most great, Allah is the most great. Praise be to Allah.
Ginger Snapp-Cunningham of Franklin is a United Church of Christ minister who is on sabbatical working for Pacific Intercultural, an exchange program for high school students. She brought Muslim exchange students who are attending Mount Desert Island High School in Bar Harbor and Sumner High School in East Sullivan to the service so they could celebrate the conclusion of Ramadan.
I really like the sense of community, she said of the congregation. Having the men and women sit in separate areas is different from most Christian churches but the intent is similar...

Ramadan is a never ending ordeal.
Ginger Snapp-Cunningham
I figure her name was Ginger Snapp, and she retained her maiden name after she married a fellow named Cunningham. I figure she just couldn’t bear to give it up.
it’s a negative connotation and the implication is that there should be pressure to desegregate the ‘segregated’ boys schools or the female only restrooms or the men’s track and field team.
Did the moon genie worshipers sacrifice poor little animals?
yes. They believe Jews are descended from apes and pigs so they sacrifice the Jews but they do leave the apes and pigs alone.
"Allah" isn't a "deity", it's the name of a black rock, and certainly not worthy of worship. Get over it you pagan Arabs. And Mohammad wasn't a 'prophet" of anything, he was just a pedophile, a theief, rapist and mass murderer.
Christmas, AKA Advent, starts on Sunday, 4 Sundays before Christmas Day plus however many days after the 4th Sunday until Christmas Day itself; so actually Christmas (or Advent) is between 21-28 days depending on what day of the week Christmas actually falls on.
That's because they follow the lunar year. (figures, it's a moon god after all) So ramandam-a-bam-a-lam comes ever 9 months or so.
Alah snak bar.
You should, for 12 days anyways. You just aren't practicing your Christianity properly. You are probably skipping a lot of feasts throughout the year as well.
That's because you are too dumb to understand the significance of it.
Women are property, and unclean. Technically they shouldn't even be in the main part of a mosk, but since it's a church, it's ok if they filth that up.
"Allah Foo bar" is called "the prayer of fear" it's what Mohammadan ranted just before he raided a toewn or village. plundering and stealing, murdering and raping.
Again, our politicians are just too stupid to understand the significance of it.
The ignorance of what Islam really is in this country is truley amazing, and is going to be our downfall.
I stayed in a Ramada Inn once.
They usually are nice quiet people, until they go besirk. So don't worry, he may be quiet, but has probably already imagined 10,000 ways of how he's going to dispatch you.
It never stops. Not for Ramadama-ding-dong or anything else.
They have an excuse for everything, killing infidels even on so called "sacred days" is not only allowed, but encouraged.
After all, "Allah is most forgiving" (Quran 2:217)
Not in my home, it isn't.
