My latest in PJ Media:
The far-Left anti-Trump propaganda organ masquerading as a news source and operating under the name the Washington Post on Thursday published an inspiring op-ed entitled “As American Muslims fast this Ramadan, maybe the rest of America should consider joining in.” The Post’s articles exhorting people to keep the Lenten fast or the Yom Kippur fast have not yet been published, but I’m sure that they will be when the appropriate times for them roll around again. Won’t they?
In the meantime, I’ll consider fasting for Ramadan, but I have a fairly good idea of what my conclusion will be. The article’s author, the imam Omar Suleiman, “founder and president of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and an Islamic studies professor at Southern Methodist University,” writes: “The end result of Ramadan for Muslims, according to the Koran, is for ‘you to complete the period and glorify God for that which He has guided you, and that you may be amongst the grateful.’”
That sounds terrific, but what exactly does the Qur’an mean by glorifying God? According to the Islamic holy book, one way that Muslims can glorify God is by fighting and killing infidels (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.). In fact, according to the prophet of Islam, there is no better way to glorify the supreme being. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) A jihad group explained: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.”
Somehow that doesn’t sound as appealing as Omar Suleiman made it out to be. But the good imam can’t be faulted for walking through a door that the Washington Post opened. His article was published in response to a Post call: “The Opinions section is looking for stories of how the coronavirus has affected people of all walks of life. Write to us.” Suleiman saw an opportunity for dawah, Islamic proselytizing, and seized it.
Still, if someone had sent in those stories about how Americans should join in the Lenten fast, or the Yom Kippur fast, would the Post have published them? Almost certainly not. Suleiman’s article, however, is just one example of a general tendency: it is imperative in today’s society to be solicitous to Muslims and warmly positive toward even the aspects of Islam that are oppressive.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Islam will eventually rule all of America, or at the very least, a large portion of the population
will choose to follow the correct path. There is nothing wrong with fasting. Every scientific study on the subject considers it a healthy act when done in moderation. Americans in general are already morbidly obese and out of shape, even the children. And since when is focusing on God, and celebrating the life Allah has given all of us a bad thing? Eating Halal, and living a Halal lifestyle is better than what is being pushed on us as “food” in the US. Allah U Akbar, and may the blessings of Ramadan continue to shine on the Believers.
Sanitizer says
So sorry dear Muslim fanatic to break the news to you but the fact is that Muslims actually gain weight after fasting during Ramadan, which David Wood Correctly calls a month of feasting. Do a Google search and you will come across this result even in Al Arabiya.
And secondly if you want to talk about obesity have a look at the rates of obesity in the Middle East we are there some of the highest in the world. Their women really pig out.
And since you have all the wonders of the world given to you by so called revealed book, why don’t you return to the Middle East where are you sprang from?
US infidel says
mudslime women pig out because they are pigs. mudsime men would rather have young boys to have their sexual desires met or a goat to bugger. why are the women covered like tents and young boys run around topless.
wpm says
It is not fasting if can binge eat all you want after night fall and remain inactive or sleep away the daylight hours. Many devote Muslims gain weight during Ramadan.Here in America no one should be “forced”to fast if they are a non-believer ,yours is not even a real fast .Would you join or encourage others in your faith to fast during Catholic Lenten fast days or Yon Kippur fast,or do you curse them in your prays 5 times a day as the worst of creatures?
Iambob says
“And since when is focusing on God, and celebrating the life Allah has given all of us a bad thing?”
You may choose to focus on (worship) your devil god (Middle Eastern, crescent moon god) if you like. Personally, I choose to worship the one true God of the Bible, Yahweh, and His Son (the Lord Jesus Christ).
Furthermore, you probably are not even aware of the fact that you’re a devil worshiper. This ‘Allah’ that you ‘celebrate’ has revealed himself as Satan in the Koran. Or did you know that?
So, go to hell if you like.
Personally, I choose eternal life in Heaven through my Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ (who will, someday, the moment you breathe your final breath be your Judge). And since you chose to worship and celebrate the devil, in this life, He will grant you your place with him in the Lake of fire eternally.

Sabri, food prices actually rise dramatically during Ramadan in Muslim countries, because the demand for food has increased dramatically. Muslims eat more during Ramadan and then reduce the productivity of their countries by sleeping all day. Islamic fasting creates dysfunctional countries. Islamic fasting turns most Muslims into practiced liars. You wouldn’t be lying … would you?

mortimer, I think your conclusion is supportable. I agree the goal is lower wages. I suspect they would barely if at all be sufficient to survive. Socialists care only about numbers, not people. Look at some of the writings that said, when the number of cradles exceeds the number of coffins, the future will be bright in Nazi Germany?
Geof Barrington says
Mortimer ..I disagree that muslums are being let into this country because they want lower wages .
Most muslims want welfare benifits and no work ..most of them doing know how to work and if offered a job dont want it anyway.
And some muslums cause trouble in a workplace …hey need to pray five times a day and need a prayer room . They wont serve certain people ..their offended etc .
Their are other people that would be better for lowering wages .
I think the elites are setting up a future war …the world against muslums . They will jam muslums down our throats until were sick of them and then there will be a war and most muslums wiped out .

The fact is that few Muslims work, especially in Europe. The idea that we are exploiting the poor dears with low wages, when so many Muslims are on the dole, simply is not borne out.
“Muslim Immigrants Draining European Social Benefits”
An estimated 40% of Muslim youth in France and 50% in Germany are unemployed but far from destitute. Rather, they receive a wide range of social benefits. For example, an estimated 40% of welfare outlays in Denmark go to the 5% of the population that is Muslim. According to Otto Schily, former German interior minister, speaking of immigrants in general: “Seventy percent of the newcomers [since 2002] land on welfare the day of their arrival.” In Sweden, perhaps the most acute case, immigrants are estimated at 1.5 million out of 10 million people; immigration is estimated to cost almost $14 billion per year.

WashPo is such an obedient, subservient dhimmi. Again proving that making excuses for evil is actually worse, in the long term analysis, than evil itself.

Just think, as an example other than the foul creed which is Islam, to what extent, and it is a great extent, the Western media is still in the process of not blaming the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for the spread of the coronavirus, which it clearly is most culpable of.

Kepha says
Simple answer, mon vieux.
Christianity tells us that we are to preach the Gospel to the whole world; Paul strove to be all things to all men in order to win them to Christ. Hence, the Christian faith inculcates both a love and concern for our neighbor (who might even be a Samaritan; and I suspect you understand why that parable was a pointed one in that time and place) well as a kind of intellectual curiosity about the rest of the world that, as Bernard Lewis once noted, was not reciprocated in the Islamic World. Indeed, even in the Middle Ages, Raymond Lully set up a school to study the East, its languages, and thought ways. Thomas Aquinas interacted with Averroes’ thought, although he came up with a very different conclusion about revelation and reason.
However, why an ostensibly Christian university call in others to undermine its own confession is, indeed, well beyond Uncle Kepha’s limited capabilities.

Ramadan commemorates the giving of the Qur’an to Muhammad. As far as I can tell, the Qur’an has no spiritual value whatsoever, except, perhaps, to remind a blessed few that there’s a God and a judgment, and to start them on a way that ends at the Word of God made Flesh and acceptance of the redemption made for us at the cross.

Just “GOOGLED” JIhad watch and for the first time EVER! what came up first in line was the site for the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER saying the most disgusting accusations and untruthful things about beloved Robert Spencer. This is most troubling as Mr. Spencer’s Jihad watch is the best site to go to for daily updates on how we are losing the war due to political correctness and ignorance of the facts illustrated by 1400 years of blatant and systematic conquest. And now it is our turn to be conquered……
Canada is in BIG trouble this Ramadan as various municipalities see no problem broadcasting the “call to prayer” – which is a real misnomer as it is really a daily reminder of successful domination. It is not a call to prayer but a call to general assembly to get further validation that THEIR god is greater than….. and assemble they do, to declare 20 times a day …”Guide us to the straight way, the way of those whom you have graced (the Muslims), not those whom the wrath is against (the Jews), nor the lost ones (the Christians). … and don’t forget to reject Jews and Christians for your friends and to persecute them while you are at it”. You can say “Amen” at the end to make it appear to be a prayer..
The latest news item (May 6, 2020, Canadian Press) comes from Brampton, Ontario, where school councilor Ravi Hooda was disciplined by Macville Public School principal Robin Perri as an Islamophobe for his Tweet objecting to Mayor Patrick Brown permitting broadcasting the call to evening prayer over the loudspeakers during Ramadan.
Ravi Hooda’s comment was …”Separate lanes for camels and goat riders, allowing slaughter of animals at homes in the name of sacrifice. Bylaw requiring all women to cover themselves from head to toe in tents to appease the piece (sic) votes.” we probably have to assume that the phrase ‘WHAT’S NEXT?” preceded that rant. but Ravi was right and accurate….. and should be defended in the name of truth and freedom of speech.
The only trouble is these politicians and education officials have a bubble around them that blocks out any attempt to give them the facts. One basic fact is that children watching live animal sacrifices desensitizes them to killing.
I should add also that Mr. Hooda who was a Real Estate partner with RE/MAX was terminated by Executive Vice President of the firm, Christopher Alexander because the comments didn’t reflect the principles of RE/MAX. So goes Ravi Hooda in good company with Kevin Johnston, David Menzies, Ezra Levant, and Sandra Solomon who tried to raise a warning flag but were prosecuted into silence.
I hope I have presented the facts accurately but I’m sure Christine Douglas-Williams will come through with flying colours as she always does.

“Fasting” the way Islam has devised through the month of Ramadan is very, very, very unhealthy!!! and should be done by no one even to be empathetic. Ideally the human body needs 4 ounces of water every hour to carry out the myriad of chemical reactions that go on throughout the day. Most of us are on the verge of mild dehydration anyway but to actually deny hydration when doing intense physical labour in elevated temperatures is just stupidity and not to be admired nor imitated. Ramadan was not created by God. God made our bodies to work and following sensible nutritional guidelines is what it is about. If our body signals that we are thirsty then it is doing so for a reason. How many Islamic centenarians are there?… even though the elderly are not expected to abstain from food and water during Ramadan, the damage had already been done.

mortimer says
The month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, has a special status as the month of religious spirituality and devotion. However, in Muslim tradition it is also perceived as a month of jihad and martyrdom, a month in which Allah grants military victories to His believers. It was during Ramadan that Muslims triumphed in many of their battles, among them the battle of Badr in 624 between supporters of Muhammad and a merchant caravan of the Quraysh tribe; the conquest of Mecca in 630 and of Andalusia in 711; the battle of Al-Zallaqa in 1086, in which Spanish Muslims defeated the Castilians near the city of Badajoz on today’s Portuguese border, and the 1973 attack against Israel, called ‘The Ramadan War’.
Given the historic religious and military significance of Ramadan, Islamist and jihadi groups, and sometimes also mainstream Arab organizations and Arab media, escalate incitement to jihad and martyrdom during this month. Messages, articles and sermons that are published on the occasion of Ramadan and explain the connection between Ramadan and jihad and often stress the following themes:
-The commandment of jihad, which is of supreme importance at all times, assumes even greater importance during this holy month and gains precedence over all other commandments.
-There is a close connection between fasting and jihad, for the former is jihad of the soul, aimed at restraining it from sinning, while the second is jihad against the enemies, aimed at preventing them from spreading “corruption” in the world. Moreover, fasting is a powerful means to prepare the soul for jihad, i.e., to school oneself in obedience, devotion, resilience and endurance, which are the virtues of the jihad fighter that allow him to vanquish his enemies. On Ramadan Allah grants fighters special strength, despite – or rather by virtue of – their fasting.
-Those who gain martyrdom during the month of Ramadan are doubly rewarded in Paradise.
-During Ramadan, the Muslims are especially beholden to protect the sanctity of the Muslim holy places and keep the infidels from “desecrating” or threatening them.
-The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.” – Qaedat Al-Jihad terror organizati
