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

From the “All religions are equal” Amen corner. Some religions are just more equal than others! Jesus rules, now and forever!

As my favorite Indian restaurant is closed, tried my hand at pork vindaloo for Ramadan. Not the same. But quite acceptable.

We should have a national pork barbeque. Every neighborhood could drag out their grills to a central area, cook pork and drink beer. I'd be on board!

Islam is a religion made up by the Arab conquerors of North Africa, Spain and the Middle East to help them consolidate and maintain their power.

OK, WaPo, here's how it works. You go to work the first day and fast. This also means no tobacco, booze (obviously), etc. At sunset, you can eat and party all night. At sunrise, you go to work, fast, and likely fall asleep. You do this for about thirty days. It's basically reverse cycle schedule except your boss doesn't get any work out of you during normal business hours. Then you're fired. So go ahead, I'd love to see your rag go down the tubes.

The next thing you know, the Washington Post will want us to observe other activities of this "faith" such as honor killing and suicide bombing.

You know what we can fast for? We can fast for our country and all of our freedoms; if Muslim, fast for Ramadan. I found out it is not that hard. I buy a gallon of distilled water, a box of soup without vegetables, a bottle of sugarless apple juice, and a box of mint tea and i spend less than ten dollars Some of it I use the next day I don't eat. It's very good for your health to get rid of toxins. Just a little sacrifice so God will know we are trying and are sorry for the times we didn't. And when you do it once a week, you could try to do it twice a week. We desperately need His help.

Jesus became known and loved by dying for us on the cross. Islam was started by a sixth century pervert who murdered thousands of people and slept with little girls and boys. He wasn't satisfied with that much power and had to create his own god and declare himself a prophet. The only thing that muslims do today that does the rest of society any good is that they require their women to cover themselves and they don't affect our bacon supply.

Sure, pal; whatever.
I'm more down for bacon cheeseburgers, pulled pork and ham sammiches.
And vodka Vinnie Fizzies.
Vinnie [RIP, 92 years] is my mom. We named and dedicated her favorite cocktail for her. She called it "her little sour thing."
Peace be upon her. It is, no thanks to you, omar. Butt out.

During Ramadan, the fasting is only during daytime. Then, they pig out at night. Having lived among Muslims and observed Ramadan first-hand, I would tell the Washing Post to try understanding Ramadan better, if they want to take a position on it!

The notion that we should bow down to Islam to appease our Muslim neighbors is popular on the left and right coasts. The rest of America not so much. These people don't even live on the same planet as the rest of us. They sit in their offices or on their cable news sets and attempt to tell the rest of us what we should believe and how we should behave. It has not dawned on them yet that their ship has sailed and they weren't on it. Articles like this are held in contempt by the vast majority, as is the entire corporate media complex. They don't know this.

A muslim "fast" is only during the day and turns into all night "binge eating."
They should call it like it is, changing "shifts" for a month while the media pound us with "how spiritual they are."

So where's the article about muslims and atheists fasting with Christians? Not that I would ever expect the WaPo to print something like that. Encouragement of Christianity in a Christian nation is way above their paygrade.

Perhaps if Christianity and Judaism would get with practices that have made Islam so attractive to so many, you know the ones I am talking about, public beheading and stoning, castration and female mutilation, public amputation, and the rest of the litany of devotion that certainly puts to shame the Catholic Rosary, Christian communion, and and the Stations of the Cross, I would feel a deeper attraction for fasting in Ramadan.
I wonder if it ever occurs to liberals that if the Muslim community could somehow install Sharia law, liberals would be among the first to be stood UP AGAINST THE WALL or have their necks placed on THE CHOPPING BLOCK. Probably not. Due to their apparently genetic blind spot that keeps them from seeing the reality directly in front of them, hence they remain in the befuddled state in which we so often find them, ready to fall for just about any silly idea like, for example, pushing FASTING FOR RAMADAN.

As with everything printed in the Washington Post......wrong about everything.....even in their so-called news stories. Wonder how their dead counterparts at the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo would have felt about this? Or their families still mourning their loss.
Like I said wrong about everything.

To begin with, there is no way ever that I would take any recommendation from the defunct Washington Post! This rag along with the New York Times are pure America hating trash. This proposal to the citizens to fast during Ramadan is a joke. Muslims fast at this time, not Christians. They respect every religion but will never follow a proven blood thirsty murdering cult. This program will go over real big in New York state though where Cuomo feeds the muslim community during this pandemic time while squatting and threatening to put Christians in jail.
