Ramadan

Owd on a bit.... The choice of Muslims is to fast during this month... Why is P. N. E. Football club dishing out free meal parcels to those Muslims who choose not to eat betwixt sunrise and sunset? Can someone enlighten me.

When do they eat these meals?

Preston North End is helping to bring its multi-cultural community together by educating locals about the importance of the festival of Ramadan and supporting those fasting with dates, fresh fruit and water.

about half past 10 i recon..

Preston ? 06:10 ? 20:12

No need to wait that long.

Did they dole out food during Lent? Go to their countries and you are more liable to be jailed than fed if you pronounce your religion and it doesn’t conform with theirs.

Their countries?

This probably is their country.
You're spending to much time in Tomplums company Bill.

Trussel Trust

The country of origin of their ancestors where there religion is widely practiced. As for spending time with Tomplum I would say you have spent as much time as me in his company!!!

However on my next trip over I shall make it a priority to try and arrange a pint with him and hopefully Mac.

never trust anyone who wont eyt a bacon butty...

"The country of origin of their ancestors "
After a statement like that I can see you and Tomp should get on well when you meet.

Some Muslims are exempt from fasting on health grounds. Some may chose not to fast but will be expected to do charitable work and donate food/ funding instead. I have a few Muslim friends who in the main do fast but they did tell me of the other oprions available.
I remember asking one lady if because of fasting did she lose weight easier and she said no way. Because when they are able eat in the evening they are really hungry plus they do need to try to get a meal in before sunrise - so all their food intake is eaten in a relatively short space of time.

LL,
Whilst I realise you currently have some kind of dispute try to remain objective when commenting. Have you ever worked in a Muslim country?

What has that got to do with the o/p?

I don't watch football, Preston north End, Wigan or Liverpool, why bring my name in ?? its another unprovoked attack , duly noted ,copied and entered in the log,

i like ramadam in a way. folk don't eat during day (as long as they are fit enough) In evening everyone gets together, socialises with wider family by eating well. I wish i had such a close family.

LL,
If I follow through on your " weird" line of thinking I presume I am a plumber as well? I wish you had told me last week before I hired a plumber.

Thanks Berylh.. Very informative. I thought fasting was not eating or drinking.!!

Ramadanading-dong!

Those that do fast do in to roughly the hours of daylight

The daily fasting time can vary by 5-6 hours depending where in the world you live. In South America and Africa it can be 11-12 hours but in Greenland 19-20 hours.

WELL SAID BROADY ......

A Jail warder has told me He hates it when its Rammadam . He told me on their wing they put all the tables and chairs to gether and send out for certain foods to celebrate Rammadam. to me this is scandalous.dont know about us being Racist i think its the other way round.

Do they do the same for others at christmas?
