While it's easy to think of Ramadan as a holiday, it's not.

The only reason anyone thinks of Ramadan as a "holiday" is because that's what the media has called it for about thirty years.

From what I’ve seen they’ve got a lot of impure thoughts and deeds to work on.

Muslims are expected to practice how to avoid impure thoughts and deeds.

Impure thoughts like imagining swinging a sword at the neck of a Christian and missing?

I think flying planes into buildings would qualify as impure.

A few years ago someone in media explained that Lent is the Christian Ramadan.

Yet more money is spent on food, more food is wasted, more hospitalizations for overeating, and more weight gain than during any other month.

Ramadan may be why predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East have some of the lowest cancer rates in the world, even though their intake of sugar is among the highest in the world.

Wait till the bombs come just as in Manchester, England. Maybe the Ramadan partygoers will stop people on briges and knife them saying, “This is for Allah.” That happened on Ramadan in England.

20 years. None of us heard of it until all the self-conscious rushing to “save” Moslems from evil white Americans after 9/11.

FTM most of us never saw Moslems until after 9/11. Suddenly they’re everywhere, welcomed by guilt-ridden liberals.
