Good to see, mate.

I'm sure TD appreciates it and I think we should keep this thread regularly updated with our Ramadan meals.

what will you be cooking for Iftar?

Start with some simple foods and fruits to break fast. (And water or juice).

After that just a regular dinner, last night was spag bol.

Thank you, Willy.

It's so wonderful that we live in such an accepting society on TD.

The first time I was introduced to the joys of Ramadan - outside of the Islamic Replublic of Manchester - was in Cairo about 20 years ago.

A halal killing of the donkey on the street followed by sweets and the wonderful meat of the neighbourhood pet.

You just don't get this kind of affection in the Christian world.

I think a slight correct, Hal. Islam, like other major religions, has established ethical guidelines for the treatment of animals. Donkeys are not traditionally consumed in Islamic cultures, nor are pets typically slaughtered for Ramadan celebrations. Ramadan is primarily focused on fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.

Thank you, Willy, for the correction.

This must have been the nearby camel then.

Absolutely delicous with a bit of tahini and served in the Egyptian bread (blessed by Allah, of course).

I really miss the great times I had with my Muslim friends.

Do you observe ramadan willy or just support your wife through it?

Support is key.

I asked ChatGPT why I should support my wife during Ramadan and received this reply.

Supporting your spouse during Ramadan is important for several reasons. Ramadan presents unique physical and emotional challenges, including hunger, thirst, fatigue, and changes in routine. Having support makes these challenges more manageable.It strengthens your relationship by demonstrating empathy, respect, and care for your wife's spiritual practice and religious commitment. The month involves significant spiritual reflection and growth. Your support can create a peaceful environment that allows her to focus on worship and personal development.

Ramadan often involves additional responsibilities like preparing special meals and attending extra prayers. Sharing these responsibilities shows partnership and reduces her burden. For many Muslims, Ramadan is also a time of community and family connection. Supporting your wife helps create a positive atmosphere for these important social and familial aspects.
Even if you don't observe Ramadan yourself, your understanding and accommodation can greatly enhance your wife's experience during this significant month.

Surprisingly nothing about getting my eyes scratched out or divorce papers...

Seen the news from Germany today?

Thought not.

I've never had an issue in the Muslim countrys I've been in. but there's a big difference in how they roll. Infos and Malaysians etc are relaxed and you can get a beer. Maybe a shag? If you don't look like Tax. The Sudan gig was a bit of an eye opener with all that praying going on starting at 4.00 am in the room next to me. the crew were up.and ate before sun up but in that heat it was either turn the rig off and go back to camp or risk killing the poor buggers.i just had to accept that shit was going to.happen even more slowly for the next month. Which kind of made my swing drag on a bit. Left me with to much time thinking about beer, bacon sandwiches, whoring, all that nasty stuff us infidels get up. Anyway. They were were very nice folk and I didn't have a problem with there culture/ Religion

Very true, BLd.

Today we had Indonesian fried rice for Sahur.

You mean from one hour ago? Do you know that was a Muslim terrorist? Know more than the police, do you?

Even if it was, it still does not invalidate the fact that Muslims do not account for all terrorist acts or even a huge majority.

Interesting insight. Let's learn some more. :-)


1. How old do the Muslim diners believe Mo's wife to have been when they consummated the marriage?

2. How do they feel about that?

It comes across as bizarre that a person would have any respect for, never mind enter a relationship with a person that not only respects a pedo, but actually honours, reveres and venerates him.

Hence the question, how old do the Muslim diners believe Mo's wife Aisha to have been when the marriage was consummated? It is generally accepted that she was married to him at 6 years old and consummated the marriage at 9. Do the Muslim diners believe this to be the case?
