| hatmoza said: Ramadan is only 30 days away, and religious nonsense aside (I mostly enjoy Ramadan for the value nowadays anyway), food brings people together. When I occasionally invite my University friends and sometimes professors over, they claim it's one of the best food gatherings they ever took part of. I just wish some people could be above stereotypes and generalizations. My next door neighbor, well in his 50s, is practically part of the family because we invite him to break fast with us several times a year during Ramadan. This note is awesome, and although invitations are not always formally written like this, it's very common to invite people over for some Ramadan dinner. Our cooking is the bomb! |
I am a muslim myself and its actually a duty of a every muslim to treat their neighbours (believers or non-believers) with extra special care and to maintain a good relationship. This man was simply doing what any normal muslim is meant to be doing (I give him major props) and unfortunately many of us don't. I guess you can't really blame others for making stereotypes/ridiculous claims against Islam when muslims themselves don't follow it properly. Very sad :(
On a better note since ramadan falls through summer holidays this year, I'm learning how to cook some special dishes so I can join in on the cooking, not just eating. I very much look forward to it.
Also this thread is awesome, I especially loved those cat rescuers since cats are special in my eyes. Every cat rescuer is therefore also special in my eyes. Plus can't forget the dry cleaners.
