Nice, always loved Indian food. My friend is from Algeria, him and his family are Berber so they usually have this Mediterranean style salad with this red soup they call shourba, and all this stews with lam, chicken and beef.DesiPrinceX09 said:
Your setup sounds quite nice, wish you and your family the best this year bro.
You can't eat meat on Friday during Lent, but considering that a majority of what I eat is meat it can get to be a bit of a pain.TrilbyWill said:
I know that I'm not trying to start a dick-waving competition over which religion is harder thats just stupid. Its just a minor inconvience for me to not eat meat, however it takes away my bacon and I can't stand not having bacon with my breakfast. Not that I even pay attention to what I eat on Friday during Lent anymore. I don't even go to church anymore and I don't think I'll be going anytime soon.Dr. wonderful said:
Technically you don't have to do it and like most of organized religion i fail to see the point, if you want to help the poor give them money and stuff you not eating won't change a thing and not eating for part of the day is no comparison to not eating for days at a time or eating dirt or horrible things as you are starving to death in a refugee camp or impoverished nation when you are still in a house and know you will get food at x time and they don't know when they will get their next meal...
To be honest, it probably wouldn't bother that much. On my "in house" days I usually don't do much in terms of energy burning, so it's not uncommon for me to not eat for 12 hours at a time and not notice because I haven't done enough to warrant the need for consumption. Also I'm a bit of a night owl, so I do about half of my eating in the dark hours anyway.THE_NAMSU said:
Cool! I love shourba. I have always been a fan of Mediterranean and North African food having had quite a few Lebanese and Moroccan friends. I also like Irani food since there's a lot of Irani people that go to my Mosque. There's a halal Mediterranean buffet restaurant near my house so I plan on going there a few times this Ramadan after breaking my fast. I appreciate itSsilverR said:
if you do any fasting then I also wish you the best but whatever the case may be i wish you the best regardless.
Not being muslim, but having gone without food for 30 hour fast its not that hard. i thik the difficulty would be in the drink (we didnt do that for our fast, we were just allowed water [and juice, if you really needed it and thought you would pass out or something, we also had crackers for that] with no flavorings or anything), because if you're not eating, then usually you want to drink just to take the boredom and fill in the role of eating.
No food all day and "family time" - sounds like my worst fucking nightmare xDShiny Koi said:
That's an honest view of how people outside of religions often see religious practices, that was hardly an insult.THE_NAMSU said:
I find fishing boring and pointless, but if people want to do it then they're welcome to go nuts.
It's nice to see a supportive muslim thread for once with little religion bashing(save for a few guys but,whatever, freedom of speech and all)
It really isn't as bad as some people make it out to be(not wanting to add to the bragging but for the past few years I've had breakdance training and once a breakdance show during Ramadan)
A little will power(and a lot of distraction) is usually what it takes
But I get told it's best to have something filling and drink as much water and stopping right before drowning to get through the day easier
Also, why did this thread become a competition for who went the longest without nutrition?

I don't know bout others but cereal, sandwiches, porridges and other breakfast things work fine for my family ;PSsilverR said:

I imagine a bunch of African people are shrugging at this holiday.
"You don't eat for 18 hours? I call that two thirds of my week."
Edit: Note, good luck with it and your faith. Just noting that it is odd but better off people do to "test themselves".
I'd still eat Cheese.
There are some rules that are too silly for me to follow, regardless of how important the status of the demander.
If others want to stop eating cheese, more power to them, I get more cheese!
Edit: Although...I could probably be a muslim if that was it. I've forgotten to eat for a day before, gaming and/or writing are crazy for me like that.

Similarly if God himself came back to Earth and told me that Cheese is a high sin that will result in eternal hellfire.Tommeh Brownleh said:

Was it Saudi Arabia? They're really harsh over there.Charli said:
How exactly do they regulate stuff like that anyhow?
Nope, that's where you're going because of your ignorance and intolerance.Jak23 said:
People like you make me sick.
Some truly ignorant and downright disrespectful people in this thread.
You seem like a pleasant individual.Jak23 said:
