Dearborn Heights Firefighters Fast Alongside Muslim Community Members to Mark Start of Ramadan

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - As the first day of fasting for Muslims worldwide came to an end Thursday, so did the second annual iftar dinner at the Dearborn Heights Fire Department.

Nearly a dozen firefighters decided to fast from all foods and drinks on the first day of Ramadan to embrace and stand in solidarity with their Muslim Community members.

Like many on the fire department have come to learn, Battalion Chief Phil Hall says fasting from sunrise until sunset is not a joke.

"This is the second year that I'm doing it. It's killing me like not having a glass of water. That's just something that I always have close to me, and that's probably been the hardest part," Hall said.

The idea of hosting the iftar first came from Dearborn Heights City Councilman Mo Baydoun, along with resident Moe Qasim, both of whom say the event first started as a joke.

Screw that. When I’m hungry, I’m hungry.
Idiots don’t know the militant rooms of fasting during the day.

The white fools participating are being punked if it’s so difficult for them. The game that’s played to appease allah is sleep all day and binge all night.

We booked a day trip from Spain to Morocco during Ramadan, and our host took us to a nice restaurant, but we were the only ones there, so it felt kind of weird.

If I had known in advance it was Ramadan I probably would have skipped it. I believe in “When In Rome...” and all that.

MUSLIM POPULATION TIMELINE

  1. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
  2. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

  3. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

  4. When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

  5. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

  6. At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

  7. From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

  8. After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Muslim 83%, Egypt — Muslim 90%, Gaza — Muslim 98.7%, Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%, Iran — Muslim 98%, Iraq — Muslim 97%, Jordan — Muslim 92%

  9. 100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%, Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%, Somalia — Muslim 100%, Yemen ---Muslim 100%.

When I worked with Muslims in my former career they just mentioned they were fasting for the day and didn’t bother anyone. But then again. This was pre Obama woke days when everyone just respected each other’s culture and values.

Metropolitan Detroit has the largest number of Muslim Palestinian expatriates in the world.

Anybody want to guess what political party they vote for?

By the way - the U.S. Census Bureau and the FBI Crime Statistics classify almost all North African and Middle East immigrants as "white."

Remember that the next time the MSM posts selective crime, voter, and income statistics about Detroit.

Well off muzzies restore themselves after dark. The poor ones not so much.

Great. Starve the brain and hasten generational retardation.

Another reason for them having so many screwballs. 1500 years of progress.

yeah. wrong again and. *** “We stand in solidarity with our Muslim friends, ***

muzzies are not allowed to have non-muzzies as friends. Another con job

perpetrated by muzzies and non-normals upon everybody else.

Secular ones might be normal but they have the fear of head choppers just as the

choppers want us to become fearful.

Nice to see that Islam’s goal of conquest and domination is going so well.
